Legally spaced so worthy of inclusion here

I've seen that plate around Alderley Edge, looks terrible.

Also saw 4 NU on a BMW and 1 NDY on an old BMW X5 both in Birmingham city centre

Saw this today in Oxford - the first personalised numberplate that has actually made me smile...

I saw AR51 COW once on a shopping car, driven by a middle aged lady. That made me chuckle.

Saw E 9 yesterday in Coventry on an X5 I think.

A Range Rover with 6 E just overtook me on the M62. Looked good.

I'm sure that used to be Lloyd's plate (a PHer) on his white classic Porker cabrio. Saw it a few times on St Paul's Street. He seemed to vanish from here.

ClassicCarMad, or MuscleCarMad? I did the pre purchase inspection on his wide body 911 cab for a guy who imported it into Australia. Lovely car.

Anyone planning a purchase in the next auction tomorrow?

[SilverSixer]

A Toyota RAV4 with the plate H8 RAP has recently appeared in my neighbourhood.

I second that emotion.

I've got a cheeky bid in for one,if it comes it comes if not nothing lost is my attitude and i have bought a couple over the year's...

Yep. Probably won't get it though as the last one I was after went for £1000 over my budget.

Yes (although the plate I'm interested in comes up on Thursday).
Has a reserve of £500 and I really hope it doesn't go ridiculously high! The last plates I bid on both had reserves of £1-2k and went for £7-8k

[bs241]

Wouldn't mind SMY 17H but think I've left it too late to register, probably will go too high anyway. WEB 805S is an interesting one!

I expect to see WEB 805S on this thread in the near future and the other one elsewhere .

I like OLD 8OOK and some of the others, but YOU 105E is just a BiB magnet.

Haha I bought SM17 HHS when the 17's were released but it's not something I'll be able to display for some years unfortunately, always nice to see what else is about. Some quirky ones in there, like you say

This plate was on a one off factory pink/purple coloured 996 turbo that I'd done some work on around 15 years ago, was also put on a Murcielago. Owned by "hard to find records" in Birmingham. Had many other nice plates too - TUR 80S springs to mind.
