I have a friend who last time I saw her had 20 E on her Vauxhall Corsa, the plate was a present some years ago.

Nice present - sold for £5200 + VAT & fees by DVLA in 1994!

Spotted a couple of years ago:

I am a long time lurker, but that is just fking awesome!!!!

fking brilliant isn't it!

I mean a MK2 Mondeo without Gaffer tape is a rare rare site

i saw this in the New Forest on Sunday. number is amazing!

I know a plate like that looks nice but come on. He could probably get £100k+ for that plate. Enough to put the Mondeo into storage and buy another 'Toy'

No doubt he could. No doubt he knows he could. How refreshing though to see somebody with a distinctive and desirable registration not demeaning either himself or the plate by the vulgarity of money and whatever it's worth or the status of the car its displayed on. Love it.

Posted what I thought was a quite interesting and long letter about my number plate - (when bought - value then -value now - which cars has been on - which one on now etc )- but 10 minutes later deleted it ! I have found from experience over the years that personal registration numbers are such an emotive subject . If one person came on here and had a go at me over it I would die. Pity , for as we can see by all the lovely letters on here with regard to this subject the majority of people think it's just a bit of harmless fun , but........... well to be honest 43 years later the number rarely sees the light of day now.

I believe I saw 7J on a 5 series BMW on Friday, must be worth a fair Bob.

Is there such a thing as an old money chav? If not, someone explain this to me.

I can offer an explanation - photoshop.

Nope. That's genuine

Not on a Clio - check yourself....

My contribution to this thread is my profile pic!

Had both about ten years, put the plate on the car for about 6 weeks simply to transfer it into my name before going on retention. Looked a bit silly back then - probably less so nowadays

X6 isn't on a car/bike.

20 minutes ago i followed "4 H" I to Bristol parkway station. On the back of a Mini Paceman. That's got to be worth a bit.

Hmm... I posted on the other thread that I saw that plate on an Octavia. It's still on the Paceman, huh? So what did I see on the Octavia? Dammit, I have one letter and one number to remember, and I get it wrong...

I used to see these parked up near Vauxhall Bridge when I drove in London a lot. I always hoped that they belonged to Kenneth Brannagh or some other proper Shakesperian ac-tor, but apparently they belong to a property developer.

I was told that these belong to Bernie Ecclestone, could be wrong though

This must qualify:

Paul Daniels used to have that on an old Bentley!!

I think you've been misinformed.

I saw TFL23 on a black G-Wiz... The plate's gotta be worth more than the car!!

My friend had 1TC on a Bentley Continental, TC being his initials. He paid around £50k each for car and No. He emigrated, and sold the car for £39k and the No for £100k.
Vanity pays. It seems.

I followed it up the M1 between Nottingham/Sheffield one evening around 1987 but then it was on a red Ferrari-might have been a 246 Dino. Cant recall for sure.

J Tarbuck esq also had COM 1C (probably mentioned already on here?)on a pagoda top Merc which I saw in Carnaby St in the 60s.

Used to be on a red Rolls in Sunderland but has moved onto a 13 plate S350 now ... Originally I thought linked to broadcasting house but it's just the chaps initials (and not the sexual reference more the shame of it lol)
