Great number plates - got any?

[outlaw118]

Saw a TVR Chimera (or similar) with the number plate G20WLY today (the "2" slightly squished to look like an "R"). Well smart.Took a photo, but my phone and PC seem to have had a disagreement, and aren't talking.And I can't find my phone disc. Bumcakes.Anyone else got any?

Saw GAY 80Y on a Jag X300 recently, and there's a TVR about these parts with FCV1L, the 'C' having the securing screw conveniently placed to make it look like an 'E'......

Wasn't it Steve Parrish who had PEN1S?

[Guest]

Years ago there was a rude boy Merc in Altrincham that had 'M' as a registration plate.

[STUNO]

Wasn't it Steve Parrish who had PEN1S?

Yep it was. Used to see it in and around Royston years ago.

[Richard]

PEN1S wasn't issued, it was PEN15.

There's a red BMW locally round here with the plate 528TD on it.

I spotted Nissan UK's 'new' at the time Micra demonstrator wearing M1 CRA

About 35 years ago I used to pass a white Merc on the way to school with the plate OBO110X on it.

Mate of mine has G4TSO (for sale at the moment apparently) and I snapped a 4wd thing with PYK1E on recently.

[Guest Kyle]

Locally we have P1 KEY on a Ferrari, P1GGY and P1GEY belonging to the same farmer, but the ones that tickle me are a husband and wife with E1N VW on her Golf Cabrio and E1N TT on his Audi.All they need now is DA5 8OOT lol

[Guest]

 

Best one I did see in the 80's was SOD1T on a mg midget.

[pogweasel]

As an aside, my V5 has the plate down as 'non-transferrable' as the car wore a non-dating plate for most of it's life - does this mean that I couldn't put a similar 'vanity' plate on now? Or does it not work like that?

Just remembered local Citroen dealer Helix has HEL1X on its parts van.

[AnthonyG]

If your car is stolen and never recovered, will the DVLA reissue the plate to you?I ask because here is a RR thread about a stolen 1980's Mazda pick up with quite a distinctive plate (4 VVN or something).The plate's worth far more than the vehicle, which since its a old RWD Jap pick up was probably stolen for export, and hence will never be seen again.I presume you can insure the plate if the DVLA don't/won't reissue it.

Just remembered another good local one. A the scrap metal and skip hire place in Horncastle I saw one of their Volvo skip lorries had the plate A SK1P on it.I remember a few years back seing the reg LOW1 on a bog stock N14 Nissan Sunny. Apparently, it's now on a Ford Fusion, whatever that is.

Horrible, that's what it is. Be pleased you don't know.

Isn't there a firm of plumbers with DRA 1 N on one of their vans ? Locally there's a company that makes display cabinets for modelshite, etc; their van is C 481 NET, which looks good from only a few yards away

[Guest]

I hate the concept of making words out of number plates, saying that there are some good ones about, like the mk3 Transit that an Edinburgh signwriter owned - S1 GNS - until I realised that the G was in fact a C and practically unreadable as such.I think Porsche had a couple of nice marks such as A 911 and THE 928S ?

And Bristol had 100 MPH for their demonstrators back in the days when that meant something

OBO10X is on a Mondeo around here.

[Albert Ross]

Theres a Corsa Combo around here with V1 DEC and a screw to make it look like "video". I haven't seen it for a while, and yes, the roof "spoiler" was rusty.My Sierra is G56 ALK and I like to thing it's my "private" plate as I like a tipple, I remember seeing FU 2 on a White Merc around Windsor/Slough about 1983 ish.....PAK1 on a Stateside built limo......long gone off the register though.When I was about 11, one of our neighbours has a Morris Mini with ***MPG was the plate, and it was scrapped one year. I remember the truck lifting it with the claw. I think they gave her 8 quid for it..........She was over the moon! I remember it was turquoise with red seats and a white roof........Local newsagent had a Blue Peugeot 604 with the reg OPG 604 R, I always loved it.The hearse that took my Grandad away had DOA as the plate.................There's more, but my brain hurts............
