Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

[A-AvantGarde]

This is what these plates have sold for at DVLA auctions. Buyer would have paid around 25% on top of the hammer price.

1 M is assigned to Malaysian Embassy, while all the others not listed above had already been issued.

1 K is owned by the same guy who owns K 1.
1 R is owned by financier Warren Steingold (as has been mentioned on this thread before).
1 U was bought by its current owner in 1966, along with the moped it was on, for about £17.

There are some cracking ones in there at what look like a bargain compared to 1 D and 1 O

Interesting to see what these plate make these days.

I once had an interesting plate,this was in the early 1970`s.The number was PLE 73. It was on an interesting car too..

The car was a Damlier DB36.Huge great thing with a big straight-eight engine,and a pre-select gearbox. Who remembers them ?


I gave,free of charge,the car with the plate on to a chum.


Isnt hindsight a wonderful thing.

I used to have a Mini Traveller (only car in the world with woodworm? :bannana Number was 4560 MU. Wonder if it would be worth 'owt tody?

Back when I started motoring cars and number plates were very cheap.When I look back at the cars I had and how little I sold them for,how I wish I had kept them.

Oh well,thats life.

Indeed, none moreso that 1 U. Dread to think what that would fetch if offered for sale now.

Even the decision of some brave soul to fork out the best part of £200,000 for 1 A more than twenty years ago seems to have been vindicated - it's currently on offer for an eye-watering £¾m... +VAT.

Now that all the available 1 x numbers have been sold off, they will continue to fetch stratospheric prices as and when they come onto the market.

I saw the number plate AH10 on a Corvette- after about 20 years , i remember it because my college friend's uncle had it in 1986 on his AMG "1000SEL" - he also had an AMG'd 380SEL - he was probably one of first to own a "1000SEL"
My friend who was 17 used to come to college in a brand new D reg Toyota Supra 3.0litre
His uncle was the first person i knew who bought a brand new E reg Ferrari 328 - (the Ferrari did not have the plate) - few years later he got jailed for a TV import VAT fraud(he got convicted with his partner who had a number plate reading the name Shahid)
Saw him driving AH10 @mid 90s on a BMW 740
I told my brother about AH10 and he was aware of it as it comes to his garage - yeah thanks for telling me!

Nice and easy for speed scamera's (not as many now tee hee) or Albanian traffic wardens to read - wise investment

On the other hand... it can be quite a challenge remembering the plate correctly if you witness it briefly while the driver commits a traffic offence....

XXIYX? XYXIX? XXXYX?

That was my point and on a scamera would it be a V or a Y - suppose not too many Silver CLS's have that type or similar number plates. Very clever really!
