I'd like RAM5 but it doesn't seem to exist, either wasn't issued or long gone. Should be a 1957 > Wiltshire reg its the one thing the DVLA thankfully seem to be careful to avoid doing which im quite thankful for, as there are plenty examples of vehicles that have been laid up for many decades and then unearthed or vehicles that where supposed to be or even where officially scrapped but where not actually and have since been put back on the road etc see Most Invacars that still survive for an example of that one! adw1977 and martc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 No pics, but seen today on a van for a local Florist called "Ems Stems", EM55 TEM On the theme, does anyone else mentally make a word out of the letters on a number plate? I do, my 1963 suffix plate begins NWT which for some reason I always think of as "NEWT"... dunno why. Unfortunately, this mental habit of adding vowels to make words means My brothers prefix plate with his initials on it is unfortunate - his initials are ANL.

bunglebus Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I saw 9 ST recently but couldn't get a pic. Made me think of the ST 1 reg used in the Saint (that was fake in the show but does exist). 1 ST is on a Merc. That's a pretty good reg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a phrase coming to mind from a grou of 3 letters on a plate - friend bought a brand new car, for cash, a few years back with VRC in the plate - he's been 'Very Rich Chap' in my book ever since.

quicksilver Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The shortest reg I've seen on a truck - 4 UK. It isn't even anything special, just a 10-year old day cab curtainside, and the plate must be worth more than the truck.

A long time ago Roger Moore was in a show or something in the West End and my parents went to it with friends in their white Jaag with an ST reg. When they returned to the parked car after watching the show and going for some scoff they found some divvy tarts had scrawled all over it in lipstick things like "I love you Roger". myglaren and bunglebus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2000 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 K8KKB on a black Disco, looks like KKK on the rear plate. I was going to get a photo but I was on the school run so not advisable really...... and it was driven by one Radio 2 presenter Ken Bruce no less!,,,,, Rusty_Rocket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a year 2000, so I presume this was someones idea of "the private plate look". It's no charge from DVLA to dump the plate and put it back on it's original plate or it it was registered from new on that one an age related alternative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty bus lanes to and from white elephant P&R sites full of premium empty buses with timber floors, leather seats, CNG engines and vanity plates.

quicksilver Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I didn't even know it was possible to have a personalised plate in Slovakia, but you can and they're fun because they can be entirely letters. Looks weird to have a numberplate with no numbers. The same firm also have SE VOLVO. No prizes for guessing what make of truck that's on. outlaw118 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agila Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 R U 69 FAN? Spaced like that on a Focus st in white. Also saw a saucy blonde having a good old rummage in her passenger's shorts about 3 mins later in a 21 reg evoke. Impressively long left arm or those evoke cabins are quite narrow.

The front wasn't too bad, but the rear bit was an inflated blob. I checked on DVLA, apparently it is real built in 2020. Wasn't this utter abortion was it? Given they stopped building that shape Phantom in 2017 (and that's got a pre-2010 (I think)) front bumper, I dread to think what kind of paperwork fudgery has happened behind the scenes on that one for it to be recorded as a 2020 build...
