I saw a Clio RS driving onto Lady Lane in Bingley, not remarkable but it had the plate "B6" which has got to be worth more than an 8 year old clio!

Probably worth a lot more than a top spec brand new Clio.

You're always guaranteed at least one nice spot around there - I keep seeing a grey Taycan Turismo just around the corner but forget to take a photo of it.

They really need to repaint all the spaces though, they seem far too short for most modern cars now.

That's always been more of a promo tool for Mr Kahn than a legitimate attempt to sell it for that, I haven't seen much from him of late but as I'm sure you know all too well he used to feed the local papers with stories of turning down offers in the millions whenever he wanted a bit more attention.

Didn't he pay something like £400k for it from a local council?

He still owes me a 14" portable TV from a deal he failed to fulfil on some wheels back in the 90s when all he had was the lock-up on an small industrial estate and the RS-R wheel had just come out... he already had a Ferrari parked in it at that point

Exactly this. The irony is that he's the person who has offered more for that plate than anyone else has.

B6 has been local to the Bradford area for as long as I can remember and it's always been on fairly ordinary cars.

I was behind it this morning in Menston, sadly for me it just looked a little underwhelming.... the rear plate doesn't sit right either....

Yep, I see it often, I've been seeing it for the last 40 years in and around the area (baildon/bingley) on various french hatches.

F32 BMW 4 Series coupé in Snapper Rocks Blue exiting Lidl in Bingley at about 9:45 this morning. Probably a 440i judging by the smooth hum from the engine. I love Snapper Rocks Blue and am currently trying to find a suitable example to buy in this colour so I almost have kittens every time I see one!

McLaren spider with V6 OOV plate just outside Shelley today. Plus a couple of Mustang GT convertibles around the area too.

Dodge Charger, some kind of Ferrari parked outside a mortgage brokers (advert that you're paying too much for mortgage advice!) and a vile coloured Urus in Donny town centre today.

I had a lovely light blue Ferrari 550 behind me in Morley earlier today, I'd forgotten how similar they look to the UK spec Supra from the front, I toyed with the idea of swapping my bonnet scoop for a 550 style one but (thankfully) never did it.

A black Sierra RS500 on a trailer, M62 Westbound at the farm in the middle, this lunchtime.

No plates on the RS, and it looks like it needs a little TLC
