I’ve just got it . Aston ( 7 is a t ) xx .
'7 is a t'.
Surely 7 is still seven, even after paying £1,000.
A friend bought xx11 xxx.
He explained to me that the first letter is the initial of his first name.
The second letter is the initial of his wife's first name.
The next two numbers apparently mean nothing at all.
The last three letters are the first three letters of his surname.
He now regrets paying £250 for such nonsense.
I think his car is year 2017, but it now looks like a 2011 car !
World gone crazy.

I agree its bonkers - but fools and their money - I bet you will see that and AS70N UK up for sale for an obscene amount of money somewhere soon.
Just browse thru some of the bonkers pricing on newreg and the such like... I remember I saw VO14NTE on a Vanquish Zagato Volante in Astons showroom in London a few years back.
Probably a £999 plate when new?

My immediate thought was how crap it looked and I’d dodged a bullet by not buying it , 8 years on and I haven’t changed my mind.
I can understand that the OP spotted a profit possibility, but maybe did not have any intention to use that registration mark personally.
I am fortunate to have a selection of very old dateless plates, obtained when values were much lower, but if I wanted a good looking registration mark now, I would look for ABC 123 (3 letters & 3 numbers). There are a large quantity to choose from and they are the lowest cost dateless plates.
A 3 & 3 registration was good enough for Aston Martin at Le Mans.

Just my opinion - but isn't this just as naff as 007 plates ????
(Sits back and waits to be flamed)
Not at all , it’s certainly naff , but the 007 type plates on Aston Martins are definitely worse imho.(Sits back and waits to be flamed)
I really don’t know how someone with a good taste in cars can spoil the look by putting a 007 type plate on it.
Your car , your choice I suppose.
