Great number plates - got any?

[pedman]

yes it is UTO 5S   the number came of my old 1977 Suzuki ap50  that I had when I was 16  back in 1981   cheers

[quicksilver]

A couple of local examples from a few years back have just popped into my head for no apparent reason. L11NUX on a Merc V-class - I'm guessing the owner is a Linux systems engineer but L1NUX was taken/he couldn't afford it. P11RED with a black screw cover to make it PH RED so presumably owned by a chemist who did a lot of work with acids - this was on an Audi at one point but I think he had it on other cars too.

Not only Cum, but Riding. The dirty bastards.

 

 

I'd like to see J122CUM on the front of a bus

[Angrydicky]

It'll be UTO 55 - the number wouldn't have begun with a zero.

There were only ever a handful of exceptions to this. The Lord Provost of Glasgow has the plate G0 on his official car and I think at least one other mayor had a similar reg. I believe a zero was also used in at least one official diplomatic car in London as well.

 

Essex County Council used to have the reg F1. Disgraced peer and council leader Lord Hanningfield had it flogged from under him, think it raised about £500k. Southend Council still have the reg HJ 1 on the mayor's official car.

Aberdeen has RG 0, I saw it a month or two back.

I have been comprehensively out-nerded - I doff my hat to you, gentlemen

HS 0 was on a 5-series round here but it didn't seem to be in use by high heidyins.

[Angrydicky]

Here's an interesting website that shows the '0' reg cars. HS 0 appears to be owned by Renfrewshire Council. http://nice-reg.co.uk/number-plates/number-plates/zero-number-plates.html

That ties up with it being in Renfrewshire and driven by folk who didn't look like high heidyins then!

G 0 now lives in a museum in Glasgow that I've forgotten the name of.  I highly recommend it, by the way.  (See background chod for teaser.)

I've seen COC and MUF and a mate had P***UBE. Oh, the times we've had.

 My son had PUBE, a bulletproof oap spec Zetec engined Fester....

Locally I've seen C 16, must be worth a bit, also on a trip back up the A1 from Duxford I saw ST08ART on a classy Merc. A lovely old gent with a 70s Merc convertible - something like a 280SL -had either V12 or V16 on it. Lovely car. He was a wedding photographer. I never had any worth much, my NSU was DDT 95C, and my parents Metro was FVY 1W. York Mayoral car has DN1, seen that a few times.

Riverside Museum. Was there a few months ago.

[mercrocker]

I had TAA33 once and chucked it away in some Austin-related deal.   Since then not one interesting plate has come my way although I  have a great deal of interest in autonumerology (hows that for an anorakial outburst).   I never wanted  to part with sufficient readies  to  obtain a nice  plate  but apart from that I find plates interesting in their  own right and would not want to cover the history.   This only applies to pre-2001 plates, I couldnt give a buggers toss about all this 52,02,55 shit.   Oh, and my 190E was once PTV7 but long before I bought it....

If  that  was my house at least one of those bastards would  have fallen on that Phantom bonnet by now....

[Mike D]

I was behind this in traffic in town the other day, I'd hazard a guess on it being worth slightly* more than the manky K11 it was on!

 

 

 

 

[Ghosty]

I'm pretty sure I saw a plate that was four numbers and a U the other day on a Suzuki Ignis - is that just old? Seems odd to me.

There is JB 007. It's on a silver Aston Martin DB5. It's true, because I've seen it on the telly.

An old boss of mine had OO7 on his car and apparently he was always being contacted by film company people to sell it,the fact he could probably have bought Pinewood ,Eon Productions and paid Cubby Broccoli to wash his car meant he never sold it. He died some years ago but I think the family still own it , it was on a tatty old Spirit worth about £5,000 last time I saw it.

OO7 is now on a 1987 White Rolls Royce that is still taxed until 2015.

[trigger]

I used to see OO9 a lot in Colchester on a yellow M3 being driven by a lady.

[Tayne]

Double Oh Nine ?

 

Wasn't he shot in Austria?

[Cavcraft]

I've just seen ELL 1S on a Merc which looked pretty good.
