I see "DAV 1D" hasn't been snapped up yet with Reg Transfers... Maybe £1.5 million has something to do with it.......

Plus the fact that if they dared miss-space it they'd never hear the end of it from Pistonheaders

ECL 41R - cake fan?

I don't care, if I was paying that much for that plate, I'd mis-space it. Same with 1AN.

Only problem with 1 AN is its stuck on the infamous Morris Minor and has been for years ....!

Pretty cool that it's on something classic like that though

Is that car still knocking about regularly?

But it's not worth know we're near it's true value because it can't be transferd from it...!

'A History of Motor Registration in the United Kingdom' by Newall and 'Where's it from? When was it issued?' by Woodhall and Heaton. Only for the serious nerd!

Also Noel Woodall's "Car Numbers" books, published every few years from the 1970's onwards are worth a look.

Local plant hire firm owner North Wales.I suspect this is one of those mega investment plates. I think he has had it for years and would love to know what he paid.

Saw V10 LET earlier today. Correctly spaced too.

Nice plate, we have V4 LET in our collection.

Browsing AT I found this. It's a real plate alright and assigned to a Golf R...

An original Nottinghamshire issue? Maybe Derbyshire?

And I'd say Reg Transfers wouldn't be shy of asking £250K + for it today...! That is of course the owner would even consider selling it...!

[bond2810]

I think £30k was probably top money back in the 90's !......

XAN71A on a Citroen Xantia today. Nice combo.

Judging by want they want for DAV 1D they’d probably want 7 figures?!

That's fab, thanks so much!

The first is FSR 1.

The other are these two, acquired by my late father back in the very early 1970s.

A family near me used to run PJ plates, one was on a lister Jag, his name was Pat. He had a helicopter too.

I sold that plate to the current owner. I purchased it at a DVLA auction a fair few years ago.
