Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

[tali]

The web is awash with speculation that they belong to Kevin Spacey, who has apparently been seen getting out of the Bentley.

However, my money's on the owners being Robert Bourne and his wife, Sally Greene, whose house is very close to where the cars are parked. They founded the Old Vic Theatre Trust, and headhunted Spacey for his current role as the Old Vic's artistic director.

I doubt there's any self-promotion going on, other than the seemingly endless entertainment provided by the way they're parked so prominently.

Well it's def not Mr Spacey...... and your guess was correct!

"This has 2BE a wheel tragedy
CAR thieves are obviously no respecters of reputation - even that of the couple with two of the most striking number plates in London.
Millionaire Labour donor Robert Bourne, 53 - who is married to Sally Greene, 49, the glamourous blonde owner of the Old Vic theatre - had all four wheels, worth Pounds 1,900, taken from his Pounds 71,000 Mercedes SL 500, at their Chelsea town house.
The car was left standing on bricks and metal supports (pictured), in the style of a rough housing estate.
One hopes that while they were ruining Robert's day, they at least had the manners to admire the stylishness of the number plates on the couple's matching cars. Robert's is 2BE and Sally's is NOT2B."

Blowin my own trumpet here ...............I have K31TH J on my disco

How's this for a few coincidences, in a reverse parallel kind of way?!

I know both Sid Little & Keith Harris (they live around the corner from me


Sid has ..........SYD 126

& Keith's is awesome...................ORV1L

I met Patsy (Eddie Large's wife) a few times when they had just started dating, and Keith Harris used to live round the corner from me in Poole about 24 years ago, when I did some photographic work for him. I have some pictures with him somewhere.

seen a few times around Cleveleys ...1AML on of course, An Aston Martin Lagonda!!!!

Took this pic in Le Mans earlier this year

Also A mate of mine & his DAD owns Soothill Garage in Singleton He has 50 OTY & his dad has 500 TY

They got stopped on the M55 once for displaying the same number plate...... It got thrown out of court when Plod discovered they were BOTH legal plates

And took this last Sunday!! (Oh, and I used to live in Blackpool)

Top marks for confirming my hunch. Judging by their quoted ages, that must have happpened about 5 or 6 years ago. It'd be fascinating to know how long they've owned those plates for, and what cars they've appeared on over the years. Do we have any advance on Mercedes SL500/Aston Martin Vanquish for 2 BE, and Bentley Arnage/Mercedes S55 AMG for NOT 2B?
