That’s what I’m talking about! Plates which the owner didn’t pay extra for.

Some of these plates are great.

Does my Toyota qualify? Not exactly the model name and I did buy the plate, though.

BMW520 still has that plate according to the DLVA, or at least it did when I checked a while back.

Chap somewhere in my area had an old Audi A8 up until last year with A8 BUH, always made me laugh.

With the context of the other cars/plates, I'd hazard a guess that is not the 520's real plate, it just happens to be the only one that's a valid format. For the record, the plate BMW 520 is not currently registered to anything, 520 BMW is on the appropriate model however.

I saw an Audi of some sort earlier on with the number S55 SSS.

 

Perhaps it had a slow puncture?

Or a big fan of the Nazis.

I’d have spent the money that plate cost on a better car.

Unsure if I've posted this already, but spotted a few years ago somewhere in London / outskirts when I was there for work. 

I think it easily wins this thread, what a combo! 

[Spurious]

Even better if it was it's issued plate and it was just luck. Seems right for an A reg?

Aw yiss I can play this game:

I think from back in the days when you could choose your plate from a list at the dealers.

I think it's a post-'86 facelift version.  There's too much black plastic and not enough chrome for it to be a genuine '83 car in my opinion...

The E320 I used to own.

Yep, first registered 1989 according to DVLA.

Possibly, possibly not. In the later years of the prefix series DVLA started holding back more and more combinations, not just the round hundreds and triples etc. So there might not actually be that many V328 marks issued.

Interesting, it has been on the car since it was new (it's my car) but maybe the purchaser at the time was just a private plate kinda person.
