ferrari [ pretty special]
Discussion
First post on here, been a lurker for years.
Joined up just to post a pic .Was following it down the M1 last week.
He was having fun , going up and down the box , swapping lanes giving it lots of revs.
It sounded gorgeous.
Sorry for not putting it in classic car spots section but I thought it derserved a post on its own.
Nice to see it driven on the public roads and not locked away in a collection somewhere.

I think that's the number plate mr Collins recently bought for £500k.
That car has worn that number for years I think.John Collins actually forked out half a million quid for "25 0".
1 SWB has been on the car for decades, and unlike "25 O" (he actually bought 25 followed by the letter "O" not the number "0"), it does not need miss-spacing to be relevant to the car it's on.
As for the £500K "25 O" plate, that is technically how it should be displayed on a car.
"250" Would not be legal as it is three numbers and therefore not an authorised plate.
"25 0" Would not be legal for the same reasons as above.
"25O" would not be legal as there is no space between the number 25 and the letter O (but I bet that's how it will be displayed on the car!)
If the number is displayed as "25O" on a car, then the owner runs the risk of being stopped by the Police for an illegal number plate and the DVLA can confiscate it without needing to pay any compensation and then re-sell it again!
What always seems to be forgotten when it comes to private registration numbers is that you are paying for the right to use the number, you don't actually own it (the registration number is the property of the Secretary of State: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa... ) and the DVLA can withdraw the registration number from use at any time, without having to give a reason or any compensation!
