Anyone remember their parents reg numbers?

[LeoSayer]

Sure do

KHJ601E Austin Cambridge in blue with white stripes down the side. I loved sitting in the passenger seat because you could lift up the floor mat and see the road going past. The green fishing indicator stalk was also a highlight. My mum wrote the car off by rear ending another car.

VPC537S Datsun bluebird 180B in silver. Rust bucket.

F348RMC Peugeot 205XS in cherry red. Only 85bhp but felt like a rocket. Learned to drive in that car.

[SeeFive]

I can remember 3 of them.

1657 VB - Triumph Vitrsse1600
UFN 996H - Hillman Minx GT (late Hunter shape)
PKN 234M - Mk1 Escort 1300 sport

[crofty1984]

Gregory Duncan Owns 817 Wildebeest
GDO817W - mum's Ford Cortina. I have no idea why I decided to use that phrase to remember it when I was 8 or 9 years old, but it clearly worked.

I remember a few of my Dad's, the notable ones, I'm rather younger than a lot on here I think so there's no really old registrations.

The first I can remember, his Saab 9-5 T160 JKH when I was about 8-9 - Untaxed since 2010, probably dead somewhere

His Alfa 159 when I was about 14, I loved that car, I thought it was the coolest - OY56 ABZ - untaxed since August, probably dead somewhere

And the one I probably remember the most, the car he owned when he died, an E Class Coupe YG17 CZY, which must be on a private plate now as isn't coming up when I search for it.

If I think about it I could probably come up with more, but they're the ones that stick out

M576 OHP - Pug 306 Sedan SR DT
L57 TRW - Pug 406 GL 1.6i

Those are the only 2 i remember off the top of my head, i remember the 306 being among the first of the fast feeling diesels and my parents thought it was rapid lol

It's all a bit hazy now, but I don't think my parents were registered.

[Pothole]

[Davel]

TLL 5

On a Bentley or Roller - not sure

[Linkin]

LGV 807F
Vauxhall Viva with vinyl seats...

[ch37]

In my mind it has always been:

RHO 870T

But I'm not sure if 0s (or indeed Os) were valid in either section of a 1978 plate.

Orange Austin Allegro I absolutely loved it as a kid, especially the trampoline-like rear bench.

[hairy v]

RWN 307G - Grey Hillman imp that overheated on long journeys.

[IJWS15]

Easy, but he has had the number since 1961.

Never forget these

They spanned my early years but I was too young to remember or care about the Mk1 Escort that came before the Mk2

Great memories of day trips and UK holidays esp the Mk2 Escort as he had a one wheeled trailer which always drew attention
