Didn't get a photo, but up near Holborn yesterday I saw a 110 lr with the plate HU63TOY. Made me grin.

Driving through Chelsea, you don't have to look too far for signs of financial inequality. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you:

I forgot about a local one that is probably the best plate I've seen; a Chinese lady has something similar to 'N11 COW' on her MX-5, 'ni hao' being hi/hello in Chinese.

Just reminded me of an X3 in the next street. MR54 BUG , not sure if they work for the nhs.

DA1 used to live on a white Maestro Vanden Plas years ago. It belonged to an archivist friend of mine from Wolverhampton and one of the people instrumental in the beginnings of the Balck Country Living Museum. When the maestro was eventually sold, it moved onto a Rover 400.

That number is the only number one that has been in the same family since the first day that they were  issued (in 1903) The owner gave a talk to our transport group a little while back and showed all the cars that it had been on, some quite exotic things in the early years of the last century

Up to date now, I saw a couple of good attempts today, top marks for trying:) avan owned by a local company that fits those windows in loft conversions VE11LUX, and a Beetle convertible MED111M, which from a distance looks like an excellent summary of the vehicle's qualities ;0

worst reg i ever had to put up with was JAG 1 on a marina estate belonging to the owner of our electrical company...he owned an XK140 and the plate was just stuck on one of the company hacks until his car was ready...every day you would get kamikaze xj drivers cutting in front of you pulling up to a halt wanting to buy the plate...i was glad when they gave me a van instead...

 

i still have my own private plate on retention... H1 3NUF that i had on my old frontera...

On that vein there's a Scenic near me with the reg SH14 YTE. I suspect it's just by chance rather than being personalised.

Saw a rather excellent one yesterday - a Ford Galaxy belonging to a mobile dog grooming service. The reg? K9 DOG.

There's one running round here that spells EXORCIST I just can't remember what the actual plate is! I'm so bloody senile! :(  It used to be on a Rangey but the last time I saw it it was on a shitty old Ford of some description.

 

Torbay seems to be second only to that there London for private plates, every one and his dog has got one.... even me!

I recently saw a BMW 3 series with the number DR 60 POO , the driver was of Asian appearence ,so using my racial profiling prejudices I presume he is some sort of gastro specialist. It could of course be a coincidence and just be the number the car was issued with by DVLA and the driver not a medical proffesional at all.

I saw a Buxton-assigned PO van today which had the vehicle number (not plate) BUX10. Made me laugh - bet that'd be a pricey plate.

Also, a Nissan GT-R with D47SUN. Top Gear viewer?

My parents owned a red mark 2 golf 1.6tdi, with the licence plate "j261 kkk".... Used to get keyed regulary.

Saw NO 5 on the back of a black hybrid-powered Transit on Monday. Couldn't work out why you would spend that much on the plate, but when I got up alongside I could see it was the Chanel van. Great touch.
