Yeah. Thanks for that link. I've spent a boring Sunday at work keeping up with Regina v. RA500's SWMBO.

[edit] I meant that work was boring - not the thread

I saw 'CHR 15' on a 2003 Range Rover Vogue the other week. Was in a Tesco car park.

Edit: Also, 'V8 GUY' on an orange Volkswagen Caddy. Can't remember what the company was though.

I still have the CHRISTIES catalogue from Dec 1992 with a picture of the plate on the front cover displayed on a Bentley,it was auctioned in South Kensington and was Lot No 1 it sold for £40,000 + VAT(17.5%) Etc. There were less than 40 numbers in total but all top end mainly No 1's with two didgits and others inc "ROB 1N" "MOV 1E" "K1 ETH" "1 MUM"&"1 DAD" and then they were all sold with no reserves...


Edit........ Sorry just realised the plate seen is CHR 15 but the story for CHR 1S still applys..
