Great number plates - got any?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I like what police are doing with personal plates at the moment - if they've been messed-around with, they can give you a notice to fix it and have to submit photographic evidence that it is on new properly-spaced plates in the correct font etc.

 

If you mess around again (put the old plates on etc.), they just withdraw the registration. Bit heavy-handed, but I don't like rubbish personal plates anyway.

I'm not so keen on that. I don't like stupid plates either, but the DVLA do sell them on the basis they look like a word, ANPR can still read mis-spaced plates and as long as the car's legal, wanky plates hurt no-one.

The number plates always belong to the DVLA, they grant permission for you to display it, which can be withdrawn....

There are some great, albeit fictional, number plates in The Bumper Book of Car Toons by Don Grant. There is a dumper truck with SUB501L, a Rover SD1 with AMP155T, an XR3 with OYK80X and a TR7 with PLA80Y among others.

Andrew, what are those spots all across your chest ? RUST spots??

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I mentioned this plate in this or another thread a while ago, and today I found the picture I saved.

 

 

Lovely.

Oh, I saw SAR4H the other day on a Bentley...

Superfluous nipples?

 

I like that plate, not at all wanky on a nice car like that.

 

I had T16WRC on my Pug back in Australia which will mean something if you know your rallying. The sad bugger in me quite likes the idea of an L555 plate on the wifes Subaru.

[Milford Cubicle]

 

Yeah.

[Timewaster]

Enough T5R pics already!

 

There is a local private hire bus around here which is

Ely being the "local" town.

I used to have a Citroen BX estate back in the early 90's on which I proudly displayed DRA1N.Got stuck in traffic in Covent Garden one day behind a Ferrari and turned more heads than the red footballer express.Although I strongly suspect a laughing at, rather than with situation going on.After that had an XM with 8EX...Can't claim that I owned any of these, or several other numbers I ran around with. It was before the days of dealers being able to put numbers on retention and a plate dealer friend of mine would buy a number and then need a car to park it on until it sold.When I finally did buy a number of my own, SET21, my shop is called SET, felt such a dick that I sold it on almost straight away.

Spotted today 1XM on a dark ( possibly blue ) Citroen XM

Great parking!

That must be worth a packet! I'm not one of these silly people who sees value in something which looks like something that looks like someone's name when you squint!

[lovejoy]

Will this one do ? ! (specially for China Tom....)

spotted at Bournemouth Air Show, reputedly driven by a well-known stallion....

Spotted today in Birmingham - an S class Mercedes LET 1T. Looks as if the local estate agents are moving up from their Minis and Fiat 500s

When I took delivery of my Jeep, I thought about changing the company name to Agussa. Didn't though.

...If you own a "ye olde tea shoppe" on the Isle Of Wight there really IS only one registration number to have...

 

I also saw a Mercedes with the registration number 10 W ("Isle Of Wight") Pretty cool... Pity I didn't have my camera ready!
