I have seen the same plate on an M Cabrio (though not necessarily the same M3 Cabrio) in Little Hallingbury, Herts. Used to see it most mornings on the way to work. Also LAM130 (LAMBO) and 100BRA (1 COBRA) and C5AXO (C SAXO). The disadvantages of these sort of plates is you generally have to sell them with the car (unless you get a new one that's the same model).

 

An amusing (sort of) story from the early 70's.
Edward Heath when he was Prime Minister was being chauffered around London, and noticed a gleaming black Rolls limousine with the registration EH 1 on it.
He ordered his chauffer to flag down the car, to see if the owner would sell it. Eddie jumped out of his car, and tapped on the blacked-out back window. Slowly it whirred down, and when asked if the registration was for sale, Engelbert Humperdink (at his heyday at that time) cooly replied that it wasn't, at any price! British Prime Minister 0, Rock Star 1 !

Terry

 

and that poor git Jimmy Tarbuck used to have

COM 1 C

on his Roller...

Now that is a real Wannabe

 

One of the North London Boyz has a BMW with

C 2EXY

You can get dream for that now... ;

 

Hasn't robbie williams got 50RRY on his ferrari?

 

Not funny, but I saw ST 1 (all letters close together) on a Wagon on the M4 last week. Is he/she here? It must be worth a bit in its own right - why put it on such a cheap car

Saw that in Kingston a couple of months ago. Wouldn't mind, but its not even a Sti wagon. Looked like a MY01 GL to me

 

..well we probably had a closing speed of at least 160mph I suppose (it was on the other side, honest ) and I saw it late. That's my excuse....now, where's my glasses...

 

If you exit Southampton through Bevois Valley, there's a car repair shop there with the back end of a Mini wedged in their wall... it has registration OSH1T :-)

Saw P2URR on a Puma yesterday too.

 

My mate sold LOG1N for £18k.
Reason - private plates get you pulled. He had the rozzers round after members of the public reported him for going a bit mental. Got done too.......

Daz - boring fact the truck racer Steve Parrish owns PEN1S.

One of those in Surbiton

 

I've seen a couple of funny ones recently.

I saw a Hearse in Scotland with the number C11 ASK or cask and a 360 Spider with HAN 50M.

Both made me chuckle.

 

There was a bloke in a 456 GT Ferrari at Mallory Park last year with RAP 1D. Awesome plate

Matt

 

Where do I start?

On Ferraris: BEG 4 1T and CRY 4 1T
Lambo: AWE50M
Jag XJ220 (John Madjaeski): 2 5LOW

But my favourite on my mate's TVR 4.5 Cerbera
BAD 541T

 

On my way down past Silverstone ( on M1 between M6 - J14 ) on British GP day I saw RAP1D - Ferrari 456 - Previous post.

800B is near where I live on an Audi.

250GTO on Ferrari 250 GTO at Coys.

A few years ago 15EXY on Countach.

 

eh, s1mon im sure thats on a silver porsche in leeds... could be s15 though..


Mine is L666DMW!

 

I remember seeing <I>M3 BMW</I> on a (you guessed it) M3 BMW cabrio in Walton-On-Thames a few years ago. Must have cost a fair whack.

There's a yellow Diablo with the plate <I>D14BLO</I> which I've seen a few times in Godalming. I gather it's owned by a rock star or something.

I'm still trying to get <I>OTW4Y</I> (my surname, if you don't know) released by the DVLA SOM but they won't issue it.
