Great number plates - got any?


Recommended Posts

Spotted V12GYN and J11LJE this morning, both with totally illegally spaced plates to read "VIRGYN" and "JULIE" respectively. Not so much great, but utterly shite! I love living in Essex :roll:

I have been meaning to post this for a while, no pic, but the local RBS mobile bank, has "1 RBS" on a transit. A quick google reveals they paid £3400 for it in 1993.

They've had that plate for years now, just move it onto newer vans.

UPU 20K now on a Disco but when I saw it on a Aston in the Blackwall Tunnel it was spaced UP U 2 OK

I got '1600GT' after a few false starts - it's screwed onto a Rover 75, and the pic was in my spot thread. Must be worth a bob or two to the right person? I.E., someone with an Alfa/Lancia/Ford and more money than sense!

Still to get, is a silver Rangie with 'LE55 XXX' on its' plate. Now, I wondered; is this an anti-porn campaigner, or someone who made enough money selling cut-price porn, to buy the car and the plate? One wonders...

Another one from my London pics:

Ive got a pic somewhere of a new Black Range Rover sport with something like 'O8' as a plate too.

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...

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 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.

Posted

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)

Posted

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.

Posted

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 :evil:

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!

Posted

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.

Posted

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

Irony

 

71NY

 

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

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