I think that Campbell M. used to have "JAG 1" on one of his many interesting Jaguars.....which is nice.

I remember seeing John G. in a Lancia Delta S4 in Martini colours reg - "DRY 1"

Also I recall that 1 UPU and UPU 2 used to live around the Loch Lomond area

My 348TS (which I think may once have been sold through The Ferrari Centre) came with "348 TFC" - but that's not in the same league!
I can remeber 1 UPU.

I'm sure it was on a late 60's silver Zodiac in the Bearsden/Milngavie area.

But hey, this was 40 years ago !!!

I saw that last year on a new Jag XK.

In the past couple of weeks I've seen MRS 1 and 88 BB (as well as V10).

Could be the one I've heard about - what car is it on? A mate swears he spotted aplate like that years ago on a Kia Sportage 4x4 on University Avenue (Glasgow Uni).

Also in ABZ:

RAB817S (Matthew Finnie)
S108AHN (Somebody called Siobahn perchance?) Used to be on an Aston IIRC

There are quite a few one letter, one number plates too.
Matt also had HAM573R on his Boxter. Not sure if he's put it on his Lambo yet tho.

Another good Aberdeen one i've seen is BAK3R on a bakers van.

I also like 8OAT on a new Espace! lol! RAF7 might have been more appropriate. wink

A few years ago on the motorway network going from Perth to Glasgow I saw "DO 1" on a Range Rover. Great as an initals plate but even better if you just read it out....

There used to be a Renault 5 in ABZ with TRS 1X (TR Six) that always struck me as a waste.

The best number plate in Scotland IMHO is/was M1NCE - owned and used on a small delivery van by the Butchers - J Patrick & Sons of Camelon, Falkirk.

The front of the van used to be sign-written somewhere along the lines of

Get Your
Pies And
M1NCE
Here

hehe

Edited to Add - Oops didn't spot it already mentioned....

Bloke at work today was talking about private plates for his better half. He took a pic on his phone of a plate seen at T in the park ..... KAR1N on a range rover, gotta be worth more than the car itself

Few more worth a mention:

Audi R8 - CLK 80Y
Escort Cosworth Many years ago COS 51E
Scrap Metal Merchants HGV - B16 TAM

Maserati's SO05 LOW & T00S LOW - Mentioned previously, almost hired them for our wedding day

I don't think he will be putting the HAM573R plate on the Lambo, he has a very good one on there already and apparently will never sell the Boxter it is on;)
