Real Good Number Plates vol 5

I've seen loads of short plates around Leeds recently:
FX 1 on a Volvo V70 - must be quite old?
1 DMH on a Jag XK8 Convertible
1 RDB on a Range Rover
1 HSL on a Merc S320
1 AFF on an Overfinch Range Rover

I see them all the time as well in and around Leeds the surrounding towns and villages (Menston/Ilkley/Guiseley etc..) too numerous to mention or post up, I really wonder if they can be classed as real good number plates these days 1 x 3 or 3 x 1 or 2 x 2, unless they are really interesting combinations.

FX 1 is good though.

A couple recently pulled into a petrol station with a set of plates.

I tend to agree actually. I see short plates like these nearly daily around Leeds. I like them but not sure they're all real good to be honest. I see FX1 quite often by LGI too.

I feel similar about spotting cars now too after a few weeks in Leeds. New 911s, Astons, GTR etc are so common that I'm more interested in the random old stuff instead!

Saw D85 on an old knackered looking VW Passat earlier

9 times out of 10 you'll spot all of them parked in St Pauls St or around Park Square.

Never mind the quality . . .

. . . feel the width!

This has to be in for a shout of being the most expensive plate on the least valuable car?

D1 NER but laid out as D1NER on a Black Jag XF the other day.

Also saw 14 RR Phantom dropheads with the plates all beginning with RR then two numbers parked outside the Hilton London Metropole

I like those a lot! 1111 A was £4700 plus vat & fees 20 years ago - I would suggest a bargain; D 1111 was an original issue by Kent in 1904. Sweet.

I sense a little irony in that statement.
