I was driving into my local retail park this afternoon and saw the below coming towards me. It was New York Cab yellow, and yes, it did have a taxi plate. I love it!
How the owner makes the figures work in my small industrial town I don't know, not do I particularly care because I think it is fantastic!
Any other examples of this? I seem to remember a plumber having related plates on his own cars and the company vans?

I've spotted this one around Edinburgh so sure it is kept busy!

The best ones I've seen are on Grant Henderson tankers who empty septic tanks and similar (website wemovesh.it)
They have, amongst others, JOB 8Y, JOB 88Y, PO09 ANG, OK04 POO and OK02 POO

I remember stopping at a motorway services 10 or so years back and seeing an S-Max with green medical decals with the plate DOC70R (or one which looked like it spelt doctor)

My local garage fella had MOT 51R on his 2001 Toyota Corolla.

He retired before Christmas, but I can see it is still on the car. Ironically requiring an MOT by by the 12th January!
Nice fella….I recall grumbling with him about managing 4 cars in the family: he was managing 15 eek

Ah! I'm not in Edinburgh but I am within an easy taxi ride to it, sounds like someone was dropped off/picked up nearby then. That would explain how the financials are doable as well. I didn't get to see enough of the taxi plate to see where it was from, not do I know what Edinburgh ones look like, so just made the assumption it was relatively local to me. I'm really hoping I see it again, great that he has (presumably) wrapped it yellow as well, obviously the driver has a sense of humour.

RAV IN

Audi A3 apparantly local events organiser although haven'tv seen it for a while.

FEC IT

White Audi presumably owned by a laidback type character. Always makes me smile when I see that car with such a great plate in Hellifield Yorks.

I took this photo in London a couple of years ago. ‘A Big Poo’ on a drain unblocking tanker.

UK Packaging I believe own every UK plate from 1 UK right up to 50 UK, plus some others. I see their trucks about now and again with the plates on. Presume buying them all was a way to reduce their tax bill or something. biggrin

In our staff car park at the airport, one of the pilots has W1 NGS on his Audi.

Lots of crew have plates with FLY in them.

NA11BAG and JO11NER unsurprisingly on joiners vans, my father in law was livid that he didn't get the latter.

Pimlico, the plumber group have a few good plates

WH05HAT was seemingly on a Metrorod van but not sure if it's legit or not?
