Was this an old one?

A1, A11 & A111 were all on cars owned by the Parks Motor group at one point.

No picture, sorry. TOM 1 on a lovely old Saab inside the walls of Skipton castle. How much is that worth roughly? I love seeing ultra valuable plates on old bangers.

Nice original issue number... Must be north of £50K...

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).

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

Definitely not an "end thread" plate if it's a DVLA purchase. I just assumed it was an original issue reversed S, but I don't know what the first number in the range was.

it's owned by a friend if a friend and I'm told the owner is a total mini nut. I suspect he's on here. Lovely car plate combo.

Stolen for the apostrophes thread.

Saw A10 FRM over the weekend on a Discovery. It was monitoring the harvest of a local farm by Rands - who own much of the farmland alongside the A10. Not a valuable plate but a good one for them to own,

Twin tanks were standard on the 'S' from 1966.

Can't be good, it's spaced badly

It was at Silverstone for Ford Fair yesterday, I'm not certain but I think that it had a Repsol Cossie on it's trailer... which makes it cool to me regardless of the spacing

Saw a van today delivering "the finest cigars" and the number plate was C1GAR

An excellent business purchase. With 10% depreciation pa, it's "paper value" is only £1,000. I wish I could find a similar number for my business.

Does anyone know what the depreciation rate for number plates is? I only guessed at 10% pa.

Buy the right plate at the right price, and it will appreciate, not depreciate!

All the better if your books have shown it as depreciating 'on paper'!
