Busy day for it today considering I've not been far.

As these plates are not the same age as the cars, presumably the owners bought them, thinking they spelt/meant something. ??

Why on earth would somebody pay money for the C124PPY plate on the LR?

Cos Mr Boggins thought his wife Jennifer would like it - and J3 NNB had gone ...

Saw a beautiful black McLaren 720s today.

Plate was B3 UTY and it was,

[Composer62]

RA59URN on a white Hyundai. All squashed up together to look like "RAEBURN" presumably but not quite carrying it off.

Not sure if it is the right place for a mass posting...
Had a bit of a 'discussion' with the guys from DVLA yesterday at FoS.
They seemed to be promoting the deliberate misrepresentation.



I did ask if he knew any one called "JE fifty five SSO" - he said that it read "JESS".

To be fair he did state that they shouldn't be mis-spaced or modified - but it is quite clear why they are selling them.

I spotted BR18ONY the other day on a Range Rover

A black Discover Sport by any chance? My cousin's wife has one with a similar plate (not sure if it's 18 or 11 though); her name is Briony.

Despite what he said their advertising promotes a number as spelling a name or something, but if you display it as such then they can withdraw it or fine you.

Definitely false advertising. As the ASA takes action for just one complaint against an advertisement they should take action against the DVLA, but being a government dept they won't.

Not personalised but if I had paid 100k for a RR I would expect them to put the plate on square!

I don't read the same into that poster, though. There are no mis-spaced number plates in there, nothing with dodgy rounded-off numbers to make them look like letters, no extra bolt heads.

Anyway, one from this morning. Nothing on that poster suggests you should buy a plate that starts MR 53 and space it like this:

[HTP99]

[AlexRS2782]

C14O FM / C14 OFM on a MINI.

J3N XX / J3 NXX on a BMW 1 series.

[S93]

[LARK F1 GTR]

A C12CUS - London black cab.

CL57RE N -Ford Kuga. Nice one cl57re

EX16EE R - Bright orange Lotus Exige. I think it's a thing for Lotus / Exige owners to have a crappy plate.

VH05TYL - Peugeot 207 Urban (no doubt there's been a space between the first two letters in the past)

PH12LLX - Range Rover.

[Bowlers]

B124KEY

And some truly awful driving to suit the plate.

White pov spec 318d with very rare the optional V10 5.0l judging by the quad pipes and carbon fibre aero....
