Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

1 CBE on a 'travelling persons' Mercedes estate in Horsell at the weekend.

N31LGt spaced and doctored to read NEIL GT on a silver astra in woking this morning.

Plus 10 CC on a Range rover in the rugby club car park on sunday. Didnt see Kevin Godley or Lol Creme in the clubhouse though!

Saw TES7 PAD to read TEST PAD on a sweet Audi S5 S-Line today (1st time I've seen a S-Line model). Blue and with RS wheels and tinted windows.

Hmmm, 200 OOM which is what I assume that is, is supposed to be on a Mini Cooper.

Don't worry, 2000 OM is meant to be on a 911.

 

[Swiss Toni]

And P10DDS is on an X5.

Probably one like this...

Don't know about now - but def was not him originally-it was some mature old school tie brigade .
Scott Alexander also has W33PON on his Lambo Murchielago

I hesitate to ask, and I know blokes on t'internet are famed for knowing all sorts of trivia - but how on earth can you remember what vehicle a random number plate was on 16 years ago?! Did you have a close encounter or something

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

I can remember in 1991/2 10TUS was on an Audi?

I was working at a car park - i remembered the distinctive plate and that a woman was driving a Cossie - quite an easy one to remember for me- suppose a bit Rain Man in that respect!
Mind you, my brother can recall every car owned over last 30 yrs by friends, colleagues and neighbours!

Saw '1 PAR' on a W202 estate the other day near Richmond Park.

You've just reminded me of a plate I saw on a (newish) Mercedes at a local Homebase - NPO 6
I still remember it on a a Mr Norman Perks Mercedes from when I worked in a Mercedes garage in the latter half of the seventies.
How sad is THAT.

Ps I also remember SUD 701L space3d SUD 7 OIL from the same era.
Oh, and PAM 7 on a W107

 

[BTB 500]

As a schoolboy I remember seeing "VAT 69" on a Rover P5, it's on a W211 E280 now.

(Apologies for not reading x hundred pages!)

In my yoof, VIP1 was on a Jag (XJ6, I think) in Southend. I also remember The Sun showed a scantily clad lovely with 50 5EXY on her car sometime in the '70s or early '80s.

Last week, I saw DEN74L with the '74' done wonky to look like DENTAL(I suppose DEN715T had already gone.

Felix Dennis (of Oz magazine infamy) had FD4 on his RR (which reminds me that 1800TU frequently appeared on RRs in photoshoots in the '70s - I never understood the reference).

 

[Howard]

A lot of the ' TU ' plates are owned by RR and Bentley for the press cars.

Most manufacturers use non-age related plates with reversible characters, so they can print their photos back to front for LHD markets, and the number plate still looks ok. Other than that, the plates rarely have any significance.
