Right. Did some research.
Cityzens were built only on Scania N113DRB Chassis in 1996-2000 period. There were total 116 produced. Around 20 converted later to open top buses, unknown amount scrapped.
If seats were unchanged, this is definitely not one of 47 Brighton buses, as they had orange/brown seats. But even with this info, I think there is no luck to identify initial reg from ~60 left
But good catch. Maybe in some time, info will float up.

I've found it - DVLA records show that this was first registered in September 2009. At that time, Mayne Coaches of Manchester received two Cityzens: X118 ABA and X119 ABA. Both subsequently passed on to Holmeswood, and were re-registered ESK 807 and 466 YMG respectively. I was trying to work out what the word above the nearside headlamp says, but I've realised that it doesn't say anything, it's the remnants of a Scania logo that has fallen off. Looking through Flickr, X119 ABA/466 YMG is seen with the logo in 2008 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/avro45/9734120880/), and without it in 2012 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicksbuscoach/8054866915/).
 
This is X119 ABA!
 
I've also found out during this search that Spike's Coaches and C L Travel (the Probus I posted at the same time as this) are the same company, under the banner of Collins, but seperate from Collins Coaches, Cambridge...

Now it is interesting, why they tried to sell that plate.

They had it for long on Setra, then on Neoplan (YN04 AVF).
