It is (or was) owned by an Audi dealer. I thought it was Smith Knight Fay in the Stockport / Manchester area, but I posted that and someone corrected me, I just can't remember what the correction was.
I saw AUD 1 on a white Audi in Bretton, Peterborough earlier today. "That'll be worth a few quid" I thought to myself. Might be able to retrieve a photo from the dashcam.

Quite like this one.

Bit boring and maybe a bit dim? Got the plate for you






ETA: no idea why the photo is massive

I actually think that’s really cheap for what it is.

All the single letter S plates have already been issued, so new supply is zero, and there will only be around 90 double digits and then another 90 in the reverse format, so an extremely rare commodity.

Second only to the single singles, which with an S would be in the £400-500k region.

That would be much more at one of the plate sales websites, you missed a bargain, should have bid!

Saw this last week.

I sold him it, the M2 that is not the plate.

Here's a few currently advertised with Regtransfers.....
B 16 looks like somewhat of a bargain at that price IMO!

It does seem to be the case that prices are very 'variable' with dateless stuff - it seems like owners/sellers just pick a number they like/want and give it a punt. lol

I think that's why I prefer the Auction Sales model - at least that way a bidder/buyer can have some confidence that (outside of shill bidding problems...) they are paying somewhere near 'fair market value'.


I was looking at a couple on Collecting Cars this week, but they were being bid on by apparent plate dealers so I thought it best to not get caught up in that!

Because the new photo uploader automatically resizes everything to 720 pixels wide, even if it's already smaller than that unless you can be bothered removing the "?resize=720" from the image tag.

Back in the 80’s a local owner of a small rural petrol station in a remote part of west wales had ‘EJ 1’ and allegedly Elton John offered £10k for it, but they were simply not interested in selling. Typical Cardi’s. What would that be worth today!

Don't think it does, i believe it still belongs to the Evan Jones family from Llandyssul and shows as been registered to a 2015 2.2 Diesel Merc.

Eddie loves a bargain.

Last I heard he had EJI 2, spaced as EJ I2

While it's a nice enough plate, that's hitting all the typical "aspirational" obnoxious chav chariot points; black Range Rover, black alloys, blacked out everything, tints, parked on DYLs and facing the wrong way.

Ruins the plate rather, given what it's attached to.

Is it illegal to park facing oncoming traffic?

I seem to recall some chat about a change in the law but who reads the Highway Code once they've passed their test? wobble lol

Nah, it’s not a “4D” plate, it isn’t grey tinted and has the plate manufacturer on the bottom while legally spaced.

It’s just someone with a nice plate on a black Land Rover.
