Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

I saw L1TTT on a Blue Rolls Royce Park Ward on the A406. I believe this car belongs to Asian business tycoon Avtar Litt, who was sat in the back as his chauffeur drove.

Saw 3 UT on a W203 C200 in Slough this evening

I was so mesmerised by the plate, LU51FER, I didn't check out the badging on the car, but I think it was a Ferrari.

Owned by Graham Gillespie of Gillespie Mining, forming part of his collection: G 1, G 2, G 3, 4 G, 5 G and 6 G. The last three were bought at DVLA auctions in 1992/93 for hammer prices of £14,500, £10,000 and £7000 respectively.

I remember seeing 4 G on a BMW X5 M about a week ago, and G 1 on a Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe a few months ago. That's one lucky guy.

Currently on a BMW X5, but it started out life as a standard issue on a MkV Ford Cortina. Someone got very lucky there.

I've seen CLA55Y around Manchester/Cheshire in the past. On a black Range Rover the last time IIRC.

Yesterday 6 EU on a silver B class I think.


Today, MC 3 on a black BMW 3-Series.

Did BMW 735 or BMW 735L start it's life on a moped? It's a story I heared many moons ago and I'm curious as to the origin of the registration if it can be unearthed please.

33 DOO was parked near the Royal Hospital this morning.

Seems this actually belongs to a... Mr Doo.

Sorry, ringway - don't have anything listed for those two.

10-12 years ago I was offered (from one of my customers) a red BMW 635CSI (I have always admired these cars) with the number plate 42 BMW for around £6,500 -7,000.

The offer was there for months but I declined.

I have since seen the plate on a 3-Series a few years ago.

Problem is - you can't really search that one on Google, can you? BMW 735 and Private Registration Plate is bound ton come up with a trillion hits....

Correction - very few hits actually, but not relevant.

I'm afraid it is all too easy to defeat me, as I don't have access to any 'inside' knowledge (and if I did, I obviously wouldn't be sharing it on a forum).

As mentioned in post 6821 (and I refuse to believe that there are people who haven't read their way through this enitre thread ), the details I've posted here have been voluntarily submitted for publication by the owners, so while some plates will be listed, there will be many more that will not.

51 N was issued in October 2000, when it was sold for £9000 by the DVLA.

None of the reverse series plates (ie: with the numbers before the letters) were issued before the mid 1950s, and they continued to be issued by some licensing authorities up until the mid-1960s (even after the suffix-style plates were introduced in 1963).

This site will tell you when/where (or whether) a plate was issued:
