Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

Is it only me who thinks these plates are totally sh!te? I mean the actual reg number, so many of these plates about, twisted and distorted lettering, trying to spell something which is utterly crap anyway!

Rant over!

No, it's not only you; whilst there are exceptions, I think personally more a testament to former DVLA, now BCA marketing and public demand for what they cannot afford - namely original issue, 1903 - 1963 plates.

I developed an interest in plates way back in the mid/late 70's and put anything I thought nice on retention upon sale/scrapping; some of which I later sold in order to obtain higher quality plates, an example being in this thread post #19688.

I’m pretty sure I saw that on a cab in Kensington on sunday

My mate has:
B413Y RR (BABY RR) on a Evoque.
D415 YPX (D415Y P X) on retention. His daughter is Daisy Palmer.
L14 EVO on his Integrale.

In my opinion only the EVO plate is any good.

AB 1 (Dread to think how much that's worth! ) on a RR Wraith V12 633 in Preston yesterday on an industrial estate. Maybe the owner of one of the businesses

Didn’t know plates with just a zero were ever issued! I’d thought it would’ve started with G1.

I thought the same although AskMid shows the plate G0 on a Rolls Royce Ghost.
Maybe somebody else can explain.

I’ve found a plausible sounding answer: that ‘0’ plates were special issue by request of various cities because the relevant ‘1’ plates were already gone.
Zero (0) Number Plates. Scottish Civic Zero (0) Car Registrations. London Mayoral Car.

Nice work. Thanks.

The Roller was bought for the City in 2018 by Sir Archibald Tunnock, Freemason and owner of the famous Tunnock's Teacake empire.
2 weeks ago the Lord Provost (Mayor), Eva Bolander (SNP) resigned after 2 years in office when questions were raised about her expenses.
Previous Lords Provost's cars are displayed in the Glasgow Transport Museum.
Gravy train, what gravy train?
