Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

Just saw VV10 NAT in Preston on a Bentley Onyx GTXII

Had an awesome paint job - we followed it for about a mile in the sunshine and it started off a dark gunmetal grey then as it went round bends it became blue then a gold/bronze. I remember two-tone metallic being a thing, but this Bentley was on a totally different level. Anybody know much about it? SWMBO has demanded a similar paint job on her W209. Pretty sure I'd have to sell at least a kidney!

1 UP Used to be on a Rolls Royce...now it's on a BMW 118i M Sport
My thought process. I wonder whether 1 UP is meant to phonetically spell “Ey Up”, and if so I wonder whether they’re from Yorkshire, or Nottinghamshire ish.

Then I carried on reading: Switched from a Roller to diesel 1-Series …definitely from Yorkshire then!

IIRC, Nissan used to offer a 'flip' paint option which was green in one direction and red in another.
 
If I’m not mistaken this isn’t a genuine number. I suspect it’s a show plate and only used offf road. This could be backed up by the fact the indicators are damaged and therefore not road legal.
Its not a plate that's even possible...
 
Correct ....sort of......my mistake With D being used for diplomats and X for non-diplomatic accredited personnel.
 
Appropriate for the Virtual Pub. 🍻 🍷 :) 👍
Some time back I saw a Range Rover in Hitchin in Hertfordshire with 13 EER on it. Last time I looked on DVLC it was not registered to anything. Also a mate of mine had 5 EXY on his Sierra Cosworth which also seems to have vanished off of the face of the earth. Unfortunately I can’t check with him as he passed away about 20 years ago :(
 
XLR 8.....on a Mercedes E350 Sport Cdi.
Great plate if read fast.....really needs to be on an AMG though.....not an oil burner!

I came very close to buying XLR 8 in around 1993/4, it was £1250 if I remember right. I often wonder what happened to it.
 
Very rural where I live and recently spotted on a Red Kia Sportage SX51 VET
