[Alfie]

He also has V8MCA on his 09 Arnage




Owned by these 2

And they are who?

 

[Gridlock]

So what's the deal with these number plates that I'm seeing more and more of, on RHD cars; go like

123 D 456

No country flash; are they diplomatic plates?

 

[Darrell]

They are indeed, and I think that the first 3 numbers indicate witch embassy the car belongs to.

See B 10 NDE on a 3 series Compact quite regularly in the village driven by one

Well I spotted one on an E280 estate with only 2 working brake lights on the N Circ earlier

Cheers

Yes, the first three number represents the country -

If the letter is D in the middle, then it's a diplomat, if it's X, it's other embassy staff.

The ambassador usually has a no 1. cherished plate - I just saw IND 1 (India) going into McDonalds at Bath Road, Heathrow a couple of days back in an S-Class

Ah yeah, and ZIM 1 on an W220 in North Finchley yesterday.

these are diplomatic first three are for the country and within which the last three is related to embassy.

if car bought from new no car tax and vat is payable, but if it subsequently sold in the UK the duty and vat would need to be paid, no taken off and a regular uk registration is given

For sure the Indian ambassador shouldn't be chowing down on cow...

Spotted last night on the A4 (Chiswick / Brentford), P8 OPR on an S211 E320 with a strategically placed black screw at the bottom right hand corner of the O to make QPR.

The google search i did gave me a wrong answer, but its been spotted everywhere.
My Mrs reckons someone like Piers Morgan

 

[mymini007]

Saw an Audi S4 a while back with S555 SSS

 

[Howard]

MED 1A lives in Teddington , right near me , but i've never seen who owns it.

The house it lives outside doesn't strike me as a place Morgan would live.

Hmm, seems it might have changed hands - I think it now belongs to a media lawyer.

As far as I knew it was Michael Grade's.
