You can just imagine the kind of KUN7 that would buy that plate to display it with that spacing.

I always steer well clear of cars with doctored plates as invariably they are in fact driven by KUN7s.

What's with the Genuine 1954 plate comment if that's actually not the plate ?

Presumably you work for Toyota.

Never understood plates like this. Why have a numberplate that does pretty much the same job as the badges already on the car?

It's so you can then debadge the car so that no-one knows what it is. No flaw in that, is there?

More likely TO08 ETH if it was a white Citroen C1 VTR

FFS. That is in no version of reality an 'O'. And on such a decent car, as well - utterly tragic. Luckily, 1 TOY has not yet been issued so a real owner isn't picking up this bell boy's fines - but doubtless it is coming to a DVLA auction near you soon..

Well, it IS a genuine 1954 plate - issued by Denbighshire. It's the way it is bodged that makes it 'not' genuine. Properly displayed, it's worth maybe a bit north of a grand (the 'U' makes it unlikely to match many initials); as displayed, I wouldn't give you a white, dehydrated dog turd for it, let alone £20k.

I can sort of get someone bodging the letters & numbers around with spacing to make up words etc and then selling the plates based on that.
What I don't understand is how someone can advertise a plate made up of a set of letters/numbers when it's actually not that at all .

Someone would be mighty chuffed to find they'd actually bought KUN 755, mind you , if they've been daft enough to pay £20k for something because they think it spells kunts5 then I have no sympathy

I live and work in Southern England and I am sure the police have given up with illegal space plates as there seem to be more than ever and don’t get me started on the number of people with blacked out side windows.

I think today’s plate of choice is WA11 YUP or as they spaced it WA11Y UP on a Transit Minibus.

A little OT, but on the central-london commute a few days ago I saw a current-gen E class estate that had blue number plates with red characters (which had white outlines) front and back; 2 letters, 6 numbers IIRC. I've no idea where it is from; any ideas? It was left-hand drive. Googling suggests two most common examples would be 1) official Russian police/secret service or 2) Chinese - but wikipedia says both of these plates should be blue background and white characters. Nothing about red on blue background.
