What crappy personalised plates have you seen recently?

It is actually 'OO 7007'

For reference = http://www.webuyanycar.com/DisplayVehicle/VRM/0070...

Also I believe the '40000' should actually be '40 OOO'

Thanks (despite the condescending undertones)

I don't generally find miss spaced number plates offensive unless they're clearly illegible or screws used to manipulate them. I just dislike plates relating to car manufacturers or models

I saw SH17 on a silver Merc the other day, all bunched together to make the word.

Drives a 3-year-old C350 and puts on it a number plate with as much class as a cockroach!

There are some weird people out there, with no self-respect!

Land rover Freelander CLR155A - No spacing - A500 - near Stoke.

Not good photographs from my phone but these two are from the same household.



DB04 REN set out to look like DB DAREN

and



HA03 LLA set out to look like HA DELLA

I wouldn't normally bother to explain what they are supposed to say but it's such a distortion of the real VRN and the characters are undersized as well. How do they get away with it for months on end?

Surprised that one slipped through the DVLA decency filter.

No P155 *** plates occurred.

The 'decency filter' is a moving feast as the years move on...this was issued in 1955, and I doubt anyone thought of the connotations if it was bodged (and I'm not sure people bodged plates back then!)

I think it actually is 007007... There's a 991 turbo earlier in the thread with 40000 as well. I had no idea these existed

Yep - O #### was issued by Birmingham in 1904. OO #### was presumably held back due to the obvious possible confusion, then issued in 1961 by Essex, who were running out of combinations. They then issued OOO ### in 1962. None of the plates were reversed, so all those combinations are DVLA auction jobs.

I think that maybe the owner of this Subaru thought the numberplate would make his car 20% kooler in 10 seconds flat.

No they didn't because there was no need to. Those were the days when a distinctive registration whispered quietly of old money and a certain respectability and Chavs couldn't afford cars and travelled on the bus.

Seems to me it all kicked off in the early 90's when the DVLA started flogging shyite like H12 COK or H15 WNK. The Chavvy Essex estate we lived on at the time was riddled with the wretched things and it's all gone rapidly downhill ever since.

Two from today, but no photos...


HI 2 DEB on a red BMW Mini convertible with the top down.

NOSHA D on a dark blue or black 2001 Mercedes ML270 diesel. Or at least that was what it said on the front plate. 'Nosha' had helpfully left the rear plate correctly spaced (to avoid Police attention?) as NOS 114D

Going off the knobbish way it was being driven I would think displaying the 'correct' letters and numbers wouldn t be a priority.......

Is it OK when they are on a car that they no longer relate too?
