V15 BEN on a newish BMW on my industrial estate near Leicester on Friday. Chuffed I've managed to see another fellow PH'er.

That's insane!
I sold the plate a few months back.
Hadn't been spotted for years and now the new owner gets seen.
Would be great to see a photo of it on the new car.

I'll see what I can do I'm usually only there in the daytime on Fridays, but it did look like it was in a staff space rather than a visitor so fingers crossed.

The first of today's submissions definitely lives in this thread, the second I'm not so sure.

This afternoon in Harbour Exchange Square, small Audi with a perfectly-spaced LAR 155A, driven by a young lady no doubt of the same name.

On the way to work this morning (by bike, so I couldn't photograph it), a brown Vauxhall, relatively new, perhaps an Insignia or something, with a perfectly-spaced plate which was definitely older than the car: AR51 HOL. I'm surprised DVLA released that? It did appear to be what it said, there was no evidence of tampering or changing the characters.

AS51 HOL is on a jag in Hertfordshire.

AR51 ### was issued, surprisingly, so the HOL version may have been random (although if so obviously sold on now if on an Insignia. Questions - a) why the hell would you buy that and b) surely you would tear the retailer a new AR51 HOL if your new car turned up randomly sporting that!

No picture I’m afraid but I keep seeing an old Mazda 323 with “1 BYE” which reminds me of the time I was lent a BMW with the plate “BUY 1”.

Thanks mate, I meant to ask for a value on the plate, but was posting in haste. Must be worth a bit now!

Is the Jag plate incorrect (I assume it must be after your post)?

That Jag reminds me of this plate, which I am frankly amazed is allowed:

MrReg said: Coombes and Sons (Guildford) Ltd owned BUY 1, BUY 3, BUY 12, BUY 1B and OWN 1. They would have transferred to Vines of Guildford when they were bought out. However, BUY 1 is definitely on the raced Jag still, but as a show plate I believe, as it is never driven on the road.

Thanks for clarification.
