Also saw B121 CKS on a brick delivery truck today.
Couldn't get a photo though.

Spotted this yesterday. Interesting car aswell..

I'll tell you what I find interesting about this car...for all the V8 badges it sports (two are visible in the two photos, the rearmost appears to have also placed the '8' character upside down and wonky) and the "V8 POWER" decal on the rear, plus the quad tailpipes, this in fact checks out as a mere 2.2 litre four cylinder oil burner.

So uncouth.

The two bonnet-mounted shovels say the lot. Priceless!

Seen in Weybridge, Surrey. New to the thread so sorry if posted before

Wasn't sure which thread to post in either, I think it falls into the so bad its good category... and the fact it's on a lambo. All sorts of ridiculous

In a similar vein, I saw MR 69 last night, on an old X5. Made me chuckle.

69FB Is on a Range Rover Sport that I spotted last week!

Nice plate but they paid plenty in '92 @ £40K plus fees. An easy 6 figures now.

What is really puzzling is a person paid £30K plus fees in '96 for CHR 11S. I would say they would struggle to get that now.

Completely agree. CHR 1S is a 'perfect' name plate (a bit like CRA 1G ) any other variation is a) just trying to hard and b) not worth £30k in a million years.

Of course it is. Finding someone to spend 30k on that plate back then was a lot harder than it would be to do so today, and it hasn't halved in value while the CHR 1S plate has rocketted I assure you. It may not be the perfect spelling but it's better than a lot of st out there. The fact that the CHR 1S plate is surely worth £200k+ has a knock on effect to the price of the imposter plates too. CHR 15 would be better (and more valuable of course) than CHR 11S, but the CHR 11S plate would still fetch decent money. The 30k paid at the time might have been down to their being two or more Chris's "in the room", but it's a popular name and a scenario, that in all likelyhood, if repeated today, would see an even higher price paid.

How about

Or is it a case of "Still registered as a 2.2 Diesel"?

The plate is real, also shows on TFL as a diesel. Looks like the tool has the tools was just thinking yesterday, looking at a new Landy in a Tesco car park, the only possible reason for owning one - especially kitted out with snorkles etc - is because you intend to use it in terrain where the last things you would want are posh alloy wheels and a nice metallic paint job!

Been after this for a while, was out of my price range before, but now in auction....fingers crossed.

ME15TER..really like it!!

So it didn't sell for £25k then.

I'd guess the vendor is in profit at the current price.

It does make you wonder - not the first time he's mentioned it on here, although that was about 3 months ago before he changed his username:
