A few years ago when my girls were still riding, I sat for an hour or so and chatted to guy who owned a Conti with exactly that plate, MUS1C, while our two daughters cantered around a ring He was some kind of dance music producer. Unfortunately not being into that I had no idea who he was. Still don't

The owner of Fantazia lives near me so I wondered whether it belonged to him

Funnily enough, there were several Fiat 500s outside the dealership I mentioned today and all had the plate NU66 REG! Must be a dealer plate on the TT or there's loads of clones out there

Thinking with my naughty head on for one moment. I wonder if the actual plate NU66REG is still available for purchase? It'd be a great excuse for the speed cameras. Wasn't me, must be one of those many traders without their trade plates on show.. On the flip side though, imagine how many congestion charge fines you'd end up with?

Funnily enough I saw YV 4 on a Range Rover in Leeds yesterday.
Also around Leeds recently:
C1 EAN on an Audi A8
HOL 1Y on a MINI Countryman
M1 DAS on a Merc GL350
41 T on a Discovery
4 CEO on a Maybach at Kahn Design

Best of the lot though; my mum Linda came home excited yesterday after seeing L1 NDA on a Golf in Holmfirth - must be worth a few quid!

Does make you wonder why, as it's obviously just a plate to entice people to buy cars with the new registration, they don't put NEW 66 REG and have done with it.

Fairly sure I walked past it about 6pm last night that's all.

I remember seeing it on a Bentley about 7 years ago near Cheddar Gorge. Great plate!

Hello, Wonder if anyone can help, Ive had quite a few number plates over the years and always been able to check on the dvla previous auction prices how much they were originally bought for at auction and which year sold. On my present plate I cant seem to find out this details on the site or any similar low R plates....does any know where I can find out these details please... Any info would be much obliged, 10 R is the plate

I don't think any R plates have been issued by DVLA at auction. They were all issued by the original authority which I believe was Derbyshire.

The DVLA website only shows those sold at auction. Nice plate btw.

Thanks for the info, Im just usually curious where it originally came from and price at DVLA auction usually a nice bit of info to have

In a non-stalkerish way, I saw it around 5pm, similar location!

NU66 REG is still available on the DVLA site for £799. Surprised a dealer didn't get it for promotional purposes.
