Has anybody ever seen CRA 19H?
I wanted to buy it in 2011 but was outbidded at the DVLA auction. Currently on a Porsche 911. Would love to see it on a car.

At a guess you wanted it to read 'CRA19 H'. No doubt if it's on a 911 it'll be displayed as 'CRA1 9ll' - with a carefully positioned white screw cap over the horizontal bar of the 'H'.

Neither way would be legally displayed, but 'CRA19 H' would be the least offensive, and least misleading

HTH

I was just wondering why anyone would want a plate I had taken to represent CRA SH on a motorcar.

S5 on an Audi allroad near Haslemere looked very good

Rumour is it was a 21st b'day present for a young lad.

Nice present!

I saw a couple in Lymington today, firstly this, which is obviously an original issue plate for this van, but I wonder how I would find out the age of this vehicle/plate? Is there a way of finding out?



Also saw 25 GM on a Range Rover.

Finally, I saw (I think) AS11 LEY. All spaced correctly. I know it's not a fancy short reg or anything,but it looked quite good. On a TT RS

A couple I've seen recently







Might get into trouble for this as it looks like the '5' has been messed with to make it more 'S' like

1962

Sorry for the lack of pic, but on a light blue Ferrari 458 Spider, number plate '180' spaced as typed.

Seen in a couple of locations - North Leamington Spa Warwickshire and several times at the Warwickshire Golf and Country Club in Leek Wooten.

Seems to also feature heavily on this thread http://www.houston-imports.com/forums/showthread.p...

Unfortunately, the plate was issued around November 1920. If it were an original issue to the original vehicle, I'd be tempted to agree with you .

I'd set the standards VERY high to end the thread (but, Thank God, it's not my call).

Could it be a Guernsey registered car?

£2,400 doesn't sound too bad...! If of course your surname starts with an "H" ...? There's one thing for sure it'll never be worth any less...!

According to this article Mr Kahn is struggling under the illusion that the rules have been relaxed on spacing. So maybe it is 18 O

"owners are allowed to move letters and numbers closer together to easily spell words under a relaxation of the rules."

LOL

November? I think you'll find it was May. May 2004 to be precise at a DVLA plate auction. Not too sure it was worth the £13.5K plus fees

Yes it starts with an H. Was on a Audi A4 after they won the auction so they may have sold it for more.
Was only 22 at the time so didn't have a spare £2400+, it could have ended up atleast £3k+.

Yep, I was poking around on DVLA website and was surprised that no Le Mans loving Audi driver had spotted it!!

Bargain at £250 and a perfect reg for my obsession with The Great Race
