1 DOL (IDOL) on a Porsche 959 in the 80's in the Patrick Collection & there used to be a Rolls Royce Corniche around the Edgbaston, Birmingham area with the number RFU 2.

TUR 130 (TURBO) used to sit on Porsche's 911 Turbo press cars as did THE 911 & THE 911S.

I also bought 426GTO for the princely sum of £250.00 not long after i brought the Patrick Collections 288 GTO back from Italy in 1985.

Also we had many cars with PMG numbers (PMG 1: 1 PMG etc) on the plates to signify the Patrick Motors Group back in the 80's & 90's.

Happy days.

This was at Auto Italia last year. The Enzo parked next to it had the plate EN 20 too, which was lovely. Haven't read through all 17 pages, but I wonder if anyone has mentioned the plate Piccadilly Motors have on their 8C Competizione: THE 8C.
The first two (and several other great plate/car's) are owned by a well known (in the enthusiast/forum circles) car enthusiast. IIRC, it was the chap who started Wolfrace Wheels,

The Diablo's not looking its best in that photo; it's just back from Scandinavia. The Six looking a bit more cheerful:

Is it just the TR reference or is there meaning in the 5114 too?

Sorry but there is nothing sadder than someone with an Aston with a number plate that has the numbers 007 or any letters with a James Bond connection. The reality is that they will be an accountant or something equally as dull.

This plate looks good.

Without doubt this plate belongs on a blacked out Sagaris, the fezza's too pretty

5114 is the engine size.

And who also looks like the golfer Greg Norman.
