Great number plates - got any?

[ashmicro]

1 IA is around here somewhere, last time I saw it was on a 3 Series Compact, and 2 IA on a Bini. There was a giffer-owned Lada Riva in these parts too, the reg ended in "KGB".

Hmmm, that reminds me of a pic I came across a while back:

 

 

'A1' is now on a 2007 1.6 BINI Cooper S Auto

 

The above pic was taken around 1991/92 or thereabouts.

 

Would love to stick a 2 or 3 digit plate on any of my Sterlings for that 'old money' look.

My Volvo wears K296LES which is the number issued to it when it was new. Not that special but I suppose its ok if you're named Les.. I've had a few online valuations which place it somewhere between £600 - £1000 so not bad for a car I paid £800 for...

[AndyW201]

Seen recently on an Astra, FF5 4 COF (spaced that way, took me a while to get it!).

 

My 190 currently wears B6 KLD. A nice little bonus as the previous owner was going to remove it before I picked the car up. Been valued at £550, which is what I bought the car for, so in effect a free Merc!

A v12 Mercedes SLR at a place I used to work had V12 OMG...

BMW M5 up the street has M50 YEH spaced M5 0 YEH

a lass at work has LES 80 on her TT and yes she does bat for the other side, as it were

Spotted SH17 on a BMW 3 series tonight. It made me laugh, but it should be on a Vectra.

No picture (I'll get one next time I see it) but someone nearby has MY57ERY on their car which is stickered up for murder mystery weekends.

My good lady is called Fiona; for many years I wondered if the reg F1 ONA was knocking around, last weekend we were in London, just arrived walking out of Euston station and a blue Maserati; F1 ONA drove past us, and turned into Upper Woburn place with a serious looking Arabic gentleman at the wheel,

(was tempted to comment to my nearest and dearest that the resemblance was more than a passing one but thought better of it as21st century metrosexual I try to be rather than the insensitive chauvinist that insists on having his say occasionally)

[Tartan58]

There is/was a Merc C180 (or similar but I think it was pretty base spec) with E1ONA with a 'cunningly' placed screw over the lower part of the E to make it look like an F knocking around Glasgow a few years back - I had to look twice as it really did look like an F and this was before the DVLA released the personalised F plates for sale.

[Lord Sterling]

There is a Black Range Rover always parked in Bearwood with the plate: BA11FFS, the first '1' manipulated to make it look like an 'i' hence making it look like 'Bailiffs'

 

Of course the day I spotted it, I just had to have forgotton my phone at home. Shite and great things to spot always appear when you 'forget' your phone

I've just seen G 500G pass me in the opposite direction. Didn't even have chance to notice what it was on!! Something annonymously modern and silver. Must mean something to somebody!

[quicksilver]

Saw a good one today - ATV5 on a Merc van belonging to a quad bike dealer.

 

Not a select plate but a normal issue made into words, I've seen a Fiesta KS05 AFE with the plates spaced as K SO SAFE.

[retrogeezer]

I saw 1F on a Focus driving up the M6 a week or so back...must be worth a few quid.

on one of those 4wd Mercedes used for taking the kids to school in. It was huge.

[CreepingJesus]

Followed a V8 Esprit thro' Kirkcaldy today, with '81 NGO' on it. Seemed to be incapable of pulling away with less than 2000rpm up.

[Lord Sterling]

 

On a TDi no less

[Albert Ross]

A mate of mine had G71 NCH on a Nova some time back..... That was a laugh for about 12 minutes.... until his Mrs revealed the truth about his erm.. "length".....

[Father Ted]

Land Rover V1CCR drivwn by, well, the Vicar.....

[worldofceri]

I'd never heard of the Registration Numbers Club before.

 

 

 

Their annual rally sounds a right laugh*. Not sure what the prerequisites for entry are though. Possession of a registration number?

[Father Ted]

Oh Wow - its in Bury....

I must go!

Is R15KED still on that knackered Focus 'Millennium' edition? I used to see it parked in the driveway of a house on Woodgrange Drive.

 

The family name of the people who run the tool hire shop near my place is Seaby. Appropriately, they have a blue Volvo V70 with the registration SEA8Y

[scaryoldcortina]

Seen recently on an Astra, FF5 4 COF (spaced that way, took me a while to get it!).

 

How recently? Cos that number is on a mitsubishi L200 in annfield plain, and has been for a while......

 

Edit because I can't tell shit from shit - It's a Nissan Navara

Yup, a yellow Focus. It was dodging in and out of traffic on the A127 near Progress Road.

We've got considerably more flexibility in the matter of personal plates in most US states, which makes the whole affair much less sporting. So, when it came time to put new Washington plates on my formerly French car, I just went with transparency:

 

 

 

Somewhat similarly, my Metro was NYM 85Y in the UK, so it remains NYM 85Y here.

[RoadworkUK]

 

 

A commendable amount of lateral thinking right there. Admirable.
