'550F' Number Plate

Overview

Some plates need explaining. This isn't one of them. 550F lands instantly for anyone with even a passing knowledge of Maranello's finest, because that three-digit, one-letter combination is as close to a factory code as a UK registration gets. The Ferrari 550 Maranello (1996 to 2001) was the car that reminded everyone a front-engined, naturally aspirated V12 GT could be every bit as thrilling as a mid-engined supercar. It's a genuine modern classic, and 550F was made for it.

Also, beyond the Prancing Horse connection, this is simply a brilliant plate on its own terms. At just four characters, it's short, dateless in style, and punchy enough to sit well on anything , especially if your name happens to start with F. And it's not bad if you own a BMW 550i either.
