Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

H15 CAB (on a black cab today)

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)

Have seen GET11N before, and always makes me laugh

On the way down the A3 to Horndean on Saturday we came across a Polo team horse box with PO10GGS

Spotted in Bournemouth.

Quite a clever plate.

Around Essex I often see:

ESS3X on a RR Sport
E55EX is a show plate usually on an Audi R8 at events
1 JK on a new black Range Rover
1 MA on a maroon Rolls Phantom

Essex County Council recently sold ECC 1, and also 'F 1' a few years ago to Kahn Design in Bradford.

I just found this forum after seeing a pretty impressive red RR Cullinan with the plate 1 MA and googling who it might be. The post above from 2011 popped up! Obviously this person is a loyal RR owner, Phantom in 2011 to Cullinan now, no messing about. Spotted in the poshest village in Norfolk, slung on the side of a narrow as hell road.

Why do people spend silly bux on a plate that tells you what the car is / might be? The manufacturer gives you free badges for that purpose.
Years and years ago a car dealer in Walton on Thames had WWA1 on his Shadow. "What's that mean Willy?" said I. "****er Willy Atkins" said he.
He put a Plod Ford Anglia on his car of the week stand with roof beacon flashing after junior Plod went into a shop and left his keys in the car.

I've never understood car-specific plates unless you intend to keep the car forever or they were incredibly cheap.

I remember having an Astra GTE 16v in the mid-nineties and the car was £4k to buy for a nice 6 year old example.

GTE 16V was also £4k to buy then.

Crazy.

I wonder how much above the square root of FA it is worth now.

Think I'll start flogging boot badges on t'bay.

Him of the mullet Pat Sharpe is a local round here and many moons ago he had PAT 944R on a Porsche 944 which looked quite good. Didn’t look so cool on the SL that he replaced it with.

Looks like the name of some sort of cream for easing discomfort in sensitive areas.

RU55 AMG covers a few bases, if you are called Russ, have a 55 AMG or better still you are called Russ and have an AMG.
