Bit of a '90's throwback there with the bold / italic font layout.

Not sure if this belongs in the good or bad plate thread...

Shame it wasn't 3...!

I think someone has posted either 123 ABC or ABC 123 before?

Yep, local to me. Was on a 3er Compact and now on a 1 Series I think.

I don't like posting unless I have a photo to support but just saw 7S driving into Salon Privé on a red E-Type.

Tried to get a photo but had to negotiate a woman who decided to drive in the exit toward me on a single track road.

Thanks Gunk, that is a useful summary. A few of us geeks on here have some really detailed info on historic plates if anyone wants to know where their plate has come from, and when.

I've read a couple of times over the last pages about "original" vs "dvla" plates. Both of mine are original issue (1945 and 1953) but is there any difference in desirability or even value?

I guess generally desirability and value go hand in hand. Original plates are generally more expensive due to their rarity - if you had, say, ABB 612 people might think that plate is quite ordinary, but perhaps only a handful of the allotted numbers survive so if your initials are ABB you might be chasing a rare commodity. However, letter combos with 'undesirable' letters such as X and Y will always be cheaper than others. 1 ABB issued by DVLA will always be worth more than AYX 1.
Mr Reg or Primo on here are the real experts on values, but I think the above is a reasonable rule of thumb.

I think Ros did well to resist the temptation to misspace

Could be initials though..? Rachel Oliver which imo would make it a better plate..!

My father knew the owner of that plate back in the 1960s/70, a chap by the name of Reg Organ. He had it on a white Jag.

Few recent ones around Leeds:
1 AUP on a Clio - the ideal Yorkshire plate?
1 JCT on a Bentley Mulsanne - a JCT600 plate?
HA11 WAY on a Toyota Hilux
M37 EOR on a Porsche Panamera
OPT 1C on a BMW X5M
C4 RDS on a Discovery
