Best number plate collection in the UK?

[HON2A]

I'd award POW second place, but propose UK Packaging (http://www.ukplc.co.uk) as winners. One of their trucks, 52 UK, delivered to us today and, as I'd spotted a few, they kindly provided their collection of 32 UK plates:

1 UK - 2 UK - 3 UK - 4 UK - 5 UK - 6 UK- 7 UK - 8 UK - 9 UK - 10 UK - 11 UK - 12 UK - 13 UK - 14 UK - 15 UK

17 UK - 20 UK - 21 UK - 22 UK - 33 UK - 40 UK - 44 UK - 50 UK - 52 UK - 57 UK

60 UK - 70 UK - 97 UK - 99 UK - 123 UK - 222 UK - UK 4

PS. Can we play I-Spy? Here's the first

a short while when I purchased a car from him while awaiting for paperwork to be sorted..

To a business, I expect not a lot as there will be some clever way by which they are recognised as assets.

Hats off to UK Packaging and Pimlico.

Fantastic.

Number plate collecting is a relatively new sport, but Sir Gerald Nabarro had NAB 1 to NAB 7 back in he 1960's. Wonder what happened to them all on his death?

If a company was making enough money to piss away a load of it on personal plates they wouldn't be getting my business...

What a strange thing to say.
Why should you be bothered on what they spend their money on?

Surely if a company has got enough money to 'piss it away on personal plates' then they must be doing something right, and therefore be pretty good at what they do?

I seem to recall some photos from the 70s or 80s of a group of cars owned by a sawblade manufacturer who had all consecutive numbers SAW 1 - 9 and SAW 1T too.

There used to be, but I think there were changes specifically for reg plates as you used to be able to deprciate them over time. Pretty sure you can't do that any more, though I may be wrong.

JCB of Uttoxeter:

JCB 1 through to JCB 20 (I think they have more)?

In 1958, Joe Bamford bought 10 scooters with the number plates JCB 1 to JCB 10.

Not necessarily the 'best' collection but a collection.

If a company was making enough money to piss away a load of it on an innovative form of marketing that generates a lot of discussion they wouldn't be getting my business....
