Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

Personally seen quite a few over the years; Steve Parish's Pen 15 (number plate that is!), Cliff's MOV 1T and ALF 1E (Not mine sadly)

A couple spring to mind, that used to run around Reading

DR S1C...ie Dr Sic...on the back of a W123 estate owned by one of the local GP's

UFO 2 on the back of a Bentley

TUR1BO....on the back of a Porsche Turbo....last seen years ago.

R1 on a Clio of all things.....goodness knows how much that Reg would be worth. Used to be driven by an old girl.

Outside work a few weeks back was a new Roll's with COL1N

Bet thats worth as much as the car

In Torbay I have seen COM 1C on some TV comedians car, and we have a retired professional snooker player with CUE 1.

On the site that is selling the C43AMG Estate there is a Rolls Royce being sold with PEC 1L (can't see any significance) its price with plate when I looked was £3100

hi john, just did that myself (see message above) on Tesco online and also comes up with nohting for this and some of the other regs as well.

 

[Alfie]

PEN 15 : MERCEDES ML 270 (01 ON) CDI
ALF1E : JAGUAR XJ8 3.2 (97-03) AUTO
MOV1T : MERCEDES SL 500 (96 ON) AUTO CABRIOLET

That fits with the vehicles I saw except PEN 15 was a long time ago on 3 litre capri! Hopefully Mr Parish has gained some taste and dropped the Fix Or Repair Daily in favour of a Mercedes!

ORG45M Wont, it has 3 letters before the 1st number, its not a valid number

 

[william silver]

I saw S10W BJ yesterday in London. Is that sad or advertising?

 

[Alfie]

ORG45M Wont, it has 3 letters before the 1st number, its not a valid number

ORG 45M is a valid number. It originates from the pre -prefix times when the year letter appeared at the end of the registration.
