Deffo RRR 1 according to the eBay book . RRR 1 = September 1954, 1 RRR = January 1963.

what's the ebay book?

Most likely this one, my plate bible:-

I've got that one, but it only lists the year. This one lists the month as well...



Even though it's a 1969 publication, I think it's a much better book (both to read and as a spotters' guide)

I'm annoyed that the rain spoiled the V10 NOT plate. Grrr

Even better when you know the owners...one has an orange F12 (amongst others!) and the other an orange Aventador.

U2 was on a Mini in the Greater Manchester area in the 80s and maybe later.It was said to be begistered to the wife of a director of Chloride (Exide batteries, etc).Leeds reg originally, presumably seCond car there!

Must be a contender for biggest car/plate value ratio? Saw it yesterday on an A class.

Must be worth 10x that today?

I've seen quite a few 'ABC 1' format plates recently, a lot of them with young looking drivers - seems they're splashing out a bit more on decent plates.

I wish I'd pulled the trigger on my ideal one but it's since sold, ironically it's now on the same car as I own

[Aston Traveller]

I liked this one

Couldn't have given the specific plate ( good work Shaw) but there seem to be quite a few single singles on fairly mundane metal.
Wasn't A 1 on a mini quite recently?

[DickyC]

Well I liked it.

I like the AMP plate.
On a similar theme, I saw PA55 MUD on a Defender recently.

PLG 1 on an old shape Ford Transit towing a caravan.

Can't remember if I've mentioned it before on here but drive past a defender regularly that is TE57 MUD

Also seen 16 GT on an L200 and LP07 ATO on a merc sprinter owned by Louth potato co

Not a chance.

488 S sold for £59k just last month, 31 S is not a patch on that.

73 T fetched £8500 in November of 2014.

A few interesting 15 plates in the next auction at £700 estimates:

BR15 TOL
CU15 HAW
WH15 KEY
TH15 TLE

Not sure what they will actually go for.
