A highly likely contender and very possibility - I don't know.

One thing for sure, you have 340 pages of evidence right here. All you need to find out is nothing more pressing to do for a couple of hours. smile

Owned by a young man in Glasgow. He is called Brogan with a surname beginning with "G" - Kudos for not spacing this illegally?
Yeah I'd say so. Well done young man.

2 in Camberley Town Centre on Thursday:

DP5 4 BEX / DP54 BEX on a Merc M Class with the 5 slightly reshaped to resemble an S and a black cap utilised to create the apostrophe for "DP's"

Very kind of "Bex" to advise everyone else on the road how much she enjoys double penetration laugh

There's always been the odd one or two posted among the parade of usual suspects but now Jaguar are targeting the more aspirational sector of the market who can just about scrape £299 a month together I expect there will be a lot more to come.

Spotted by a fellow PHer and we were discussing this on WhatsApp. I wondered what you'd make of it...



PY56FH

Now, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and so after some hefty Googling about foreign plate formats etc, the best I can come up with is that AA 00 AA would be a valid UK military plate format, but I'm not sure FH is a valid ending, and I'm not sure how it would end up on a civvy car like this.

I'm suspicious that PY is a valid regional id, and 56 is a valid year id. So, if we jump to the conclusion that it's a butchered current format plate, if you add a letter O on the end, the DVLA says it's registered to a grey Porsche...

But, I don't believe anyone can be that brazen. Can anyone else present a legitimate alternative explanation?

The plates look quite new, so I can only guess that they've somehow missed the 'O' off when getting them made up?

Bit odd that the owner wouldn't notice when fitting them though, and depending on how long it's been like that you'd expect a tug from the police since its pretty obvious it's wrong.

Strange one indeed!

I don't believe for a minute the owner wouldn't notice a mistake. If it is an error, it's intentional. Maybe if it was on an unloved shed, but this person likes cars enough to have a washed and polished Cayman S, and to use sticky pads instead of screws on the plates.

Netherlands plate perhaps?

The Netherlands and Portugal both use three groups of two characters (letters or numbers) in several sequences: AB-12-CD, 12-34-AB, 12-AB-34, AB-12-34, etc. However, Portuguese plates have a white background, while those of Netherlands (after 1978-01-01) have a yellow one, though both countries also use white letters on blue plates for classic cars. Furthermore, newer plates on Dutch vehicles only contain consonants, to avoid coincidental abbreviations or words. Also some sensitive letter combinations, such as SS or SD, are not used. The combination 'AA' is reserved for cars of the royal family. Dutch company registered bus, truck and/or minivan plates always start with a B or a V. Dutch taxis use blue registration plates. The number of new combinations ran out in 2008. By now, new registered cars in the Netherlands use the following format of two digits-three letters-one digit (12-ABC-3).
