Hoppers, not sure if you are just wing us up deliberately now... this is epic crapness. 1) mis-spaced to try and say something it doesn't... but, it's biggest crime, adding a dodgy screw to try and change the last letter to something it really is not.

In for a service today at Porsche Centre Aberdeen. I wonder who owns it.

Love that, car and plate. This model 911 is aging so well, their proportions just look so much better than bulbous modern cars (yes, I know they are more likely to kill you in an accident, but hey!)

Thoroughly agree. The nicest looking 911 ever IMO (good plate too)

Sadly no pic as I was driving but the pick of today's plates was

OO 2

Correctly spaced on a new Range Rover Vogue


Best car of the day though was the M5 Competition that I sat behind on the M4 for a while....very stealthy.

1 KL on a Range Rover today.

Any ideas what that would be worth?

1 KD is £260k on reg transfers but there’s a massive difference between asking price and value. I’m not sure how many of these plates actually change hands for such silly sums.

[BertieWooster]

Saw this earlier today. I think the plate goes very well with the vehicle - and yes, the plate is genuine.

I’ve got a plate for sale with RT , up at a price “to sell “ according to them.

Sell at X we pay you Y which is acceptable to me , except they keep ringing up and offering me Y-50% which I clearly refuse.

I’ve always had the same mindset as you , but we’ll never find out will we.

Silly sums.. it may not achieve the full asking price but it'll be a hell of alot more than it previously
sold for....? numbers have had one of the best capital growths that I can think of over years....

As a comparison 1 BM went for £285,000 in Dec 2014 (according to Nice-Reg), was previously £21,000 + bits in the DVLA auction of January 1995.

Though as another comparison I've only ever been offered an 8th of what I paid for mine 30 years ago. So choose wisely.

Pedestrian safety rating must be quite low. You'd look UGLY if you tangled with it.

It’s hard to argue against that being a silly sum for a reg plate. They may have done well but the target market for any plate at that level is tiny so a comparatively difficult asset to sell.

It's owned by a chap called Robert

Yes there's no point arguing... but my point is "1 KD" is the ultimate reg number for anyone with those initinals or less of course "KD 1" became available which would be at least £100K + more anyway...! And I would have thought comman initials so not that much of a limited market..? A friend of mine has "BW 1" which he's owned for nearly 40 years and turned down half dozen very substantial offers,the ultimate is more often than not something you can't have so therefore always commands a ultimate price....
