Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

[Darrell]

1 POR on a Jaaag that must have been at least 20 years old in Duke St this morning.
I saw it later on today outside the Portuguese Consulate.

NEP 1 on a black Merc near Regents Park.

Where's ER5?

I think it refers to how much it cost

44 MB on a green Porsche today on M4 westbound. Lovely car was making good progress.
I heard about a year ago the owner of the plate at the time was trying to sell it to MB UK.

The lorry.

Seen any good ones?

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)

I used to have S500BDL on my S500
Used to see JAG1 and 1 XJS both obviously on Jags around Fareham

Do You know that you can't buy a plate with GOD in it?

I have a number of plates on retention - when checked on the RAC site, they show as no trace. My experience is that the RAC site IS updated fairly regularly (evidenced by checking the info on last owner change when I bought / sold a vehicle).

A great umcle of mine had AJB1 AJB2 AJB3 for him, his wife and his daughter all Mercs, he wasn't a poor man.

The number has belonged to my mate Martin Brundle for many years. This is it's 2006 BMW M5.
Sounds like he's on the way to the airport and this more Sky F1 work...

I’d say unlikely.

I’d say unlikely.

Just googled it and seems like MB 44 is for sale on the internet. Maybe owner of that one tried to sell it to MB UK.

Maybe.

IWith the exception of the famous press car plates used by Porsche and Aston Martin, personalised registration numbers on company vehicles seem to be of interest only to London-based plumbers and JCB.

Mercedes used 212 MBC for w212 photoshoots and 213 MBC for w213. I don’t know whether they own the numbers or they are just show plates

Who knows? 44 MB and MB 44 are not the same number!

I will try and get the photo from my phone, but last year whilst at Brooklands ( Surrey ) in the hotel car park was a elderly 'E' Class saloon with the plate F1 0PEC .....

Double fail there. Not only does he prove to be a knob head by claiming to have an XL knob, but he's actually a modified nub head. And that's the nub of the matter.
