[Hurricane52]

A1 ALE correctly spaced on a Felinfoel brewery truck on the A478 outside Aberaeron. like the plate, less sure about the ale.

Saw this in Fleet, Hampshire about 6 months ago, did a bit of a double take!

A couple of others that come to mind from the Oxford area:

5 MV on a silver Honda Civic

7 RD on a silver Audi Q3

DW 222 on a Bentley Benteyga

1 CE on a white BMW 7-Series

Suspect it’s an error but just in case it’s not I’ve stuck it on my Amex

Anyone have their on the auctions starting tomorrow?
I'm bidding on a 4 digit dateless plate, been trying to get a dateless one for a while now but they always go over budget!

I’m bidding by phone on 2. One I’m told “that is a popular one Sir...” the other I know I’m up against at least 2 people.

There is yellowness about the boot that suggests the car has been custard bombed.

(Is how I took it.)

Oh! I see now!

Also look wonky from this angle? Not a fan of the OTT screw arangement MB use, sticky pads give a much cleaner look.

Regularly see "T5" in Torbay, slapped on a 2013ish Tiguan.

Any ideas how much it's worth??? More than the car I'm guessing

Take a pic next time as that's a new spot.

Worth at least £200K

Here you go, I spotted it back in volume 3, i thought it was quite a recent post but it was over 5 years ago!

How do you know that? They told you over the phone?

Apparently the screw arrangement fits number plate frames. I asked MB for new plates for Mrs C's SLK and said I wanted them to be stuck on. When I collected the car they had been drilled and bolted again. Under close questioning they said they never stick them on. Eventually I'll buy another set and stick them on myself.

having bought one in the last auction, and having private plates already on all my cars, I will probably watch, but not bid...
