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.

Rather more than the ludicrous 'estimate', clearly.

(But CU15 HAW is more vague).

I liked this one

They've had that for years. Near Mansfield. They used to have LHL 1 too.

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.

Oh wow, interesting. I wouldn't have expected a 3-digit to sell for less than £10k to be honest.

Wrong thread surely?

Yes - with those wipers, should go in the 'teeth itch' thread.

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?

Last time I saw it, it was. That was 6-7 years ago. Had I realised it hadn't ever been spotted, I'd have taken a pic!

It's real good for Derbyshire.

Saw a few nice plates over the weekend, the only two I can remember were LU54 RDY on a Lexus (yes, she was driving) on the M25 Sat pm. Then T3DDY on a RRS, spaced as such so probably best on the other thread, also on the M25.

PR07 ECT on a blue ST estate (I didn't know that there was such a beast).

What's an ST?

Assuming Focus ST in the less common estate variant

[pingu393]

It was a Ford and I'm assuming it was a Focus by the size of it. As I said, it's the first estate variant I've seen. I quite liked it.

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)

Ooh! I'm off to look for that!
I also have these. 'number plates' is a very slim history with some nice nuggets and pictures. The History is very detailed and basically compiles all remaining information left from the paper records, district by district.

I'm sure it's been posted before but ELV 1S on a Vauxhall Mokka of all things. Was dark and I was driving so sadly no pic.

That will be this one seen in Port Solent, Hampshire a few months ago.
