Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

ELV11S in an S-Class in Portsmouth on Saturday.

BU51NES also in Portsmouth.

Did you get a look at the driver of the S Class? If you've found the original after all these years your fortune will be made.

Saw Chris Tarrants S-class a couple of days ago in Cobham, reg. CHU 88 (he's mad on fishing).

(Was too busy clocking the car to see if he was driving)

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.

R1 used to belong to my Doctor!

Seen a vehicle delivering portaloos with the number plate LOO 4 POO

Yesterday near New Malden, a MB 300 Coupe (not sure of my model designations). A big guy at the wheel and the number plate was B16 FKA.

I let him into the queue from a side road but he didn't wave to say thanks. Perhaps that's because he is indeed a FKA.

Hmm, that is clearly a British road (judging by the style of central reservation) but the car is also clearly driving on the right hand side. This is an extremely dangerous place to be in a country that drives on the left!

Cool! And they didn't even launch the car until 2003!

Howard, not questioning your data - but there is still something not quite right here, I think.

Have a peek yourself - they don't list a manufacturer or model which is weird .....

Hi Howard, my apologies. I meant to make it clear that I had no doubt as to you reporting faithfully what was said on the RAC website, but the Conti GT was launched in 2003 so I still think the picture and / or data is suspect.

"TUR 80" with make of Bentley gives no match on the DVLA search ... "Vehicle Enquiry" here:

TUR 80 is a real number plate as it hangs around the Kent area. It use to be on a Turbo 911 some years ago.

Jury's still out on this 1 then. We can assume RAC is inaccurate (which I understand it can be).

'red enzo' on a ... well if you can't guess ... at le mans

(and i now know how to chav up an enzo - use script style typeface on the plate! - it looked terrible) and no, i couldn't work out what the (UK) plate really was other than the second 'e' was a 3

RE 03 NZO

 

[wallingd]

A bit of judicious 'un0ing' there...

 

[SG CL500]

that'd be the one - looks like same place too - hotel in north alencon, just off the new toll route - i saw it at the classic race - no wonder i couldn't work it out, we only drived passed and that '0' is really pushing it!

plate looked more scripted than that from a quck glance, maybe i was bit too harsh (still not my choice tho)

 

[glojo]

RE03 NZO is actually registered to a red Ferrari. How on earth is the owner getting away with it?
