I also have a large number of cuttings somewhere. I must dig them out. I remember Timian registrations advertising. When I was a kid I used to spend hours reading the adverts at the back of the Sunday Times.

Any 1x1 ads would be great. Even better if it contains a price and date

Exchange and Mart 31/3/2988
8 K £18,000
D 6 £14,200
F 9 £15,000
O 6 £11,000

JZ 1 and VZ 1 are on that list - are they NI numbers?

Some of them do look surprisingly expensive for 30 years ago

No picture, tried to get an image off my dashcam, but no chance whilst it was dark...

There was a HGV cab with a 21 plate on the A38 around Burton this morning. It had trade plates as you’d expect, but I can’t imagine there’s too many of those registered yet(?)

It won’t be registered yet. Just being moved somewhere. Won’t be registered until March 1st.

Wow.... not seen that before,looks like that's September 1991 I bought CRA 1G directly from the then owner in Scotland in November 1991 and had been in talks with him for some time. There's some really interesting plates in the advert,can't believe it's 30 years ago.!

Your plate no doubt will have been one of the best investments there, but do you think any of those plates will have surpassed yours in terms of appreciation?

Surely it only has value as long as there are people called Craig.

I haven’t come across a Craig since leaving school 35 years ago. It’s like Graham and Gordon you don’t see many of them anymore either.
