Spotted BMW 51X today on some modern Beemer thing. Would be better on a straight six!

Comes up as a BMW 640d which is a straight six, albeit a turbo diesel.

I like that,I didn't have my 640 in 2006 when it sold for a cheeky £1700 + the bits if I had I'd have been bidding myself...

Saw one of the best long plate I've seen in a long time a couple of days ago.

CO10 NEL

Spacing not messed with, was on a BMW SUV in Melksham of all places.

Cracking plate IMHO

I saw 8OG on a Pimlico Plumber van today, didn’t have time to take a photo though. It feels like I’ve seen a celeb!

N1101 On an RS6

A pre 1913 Manchester plate if I’m reading this book correctly

I saw 1000 X on a Landrover Discovery the other day, I tried to get a pic but unfortunately had gone before I had a chance.

Good work, welcome to the world of number plate nerdism

N 1154 was a Milnes new to the Great Central Railway Company in June 1905, so narrows down the issue of 1101 further.

I saw 321 T today, on a Tesla Model X.

[Commerlad]

Quite some time ago (About 40 years nearly) a local small taxi firm (Creswell N E Derbyshire had an old style Mini (It was then the actual model) In Royal Blue with the plate ATW 1 T (No fancy spacing, or anything just the plate it was delivered with) Anybodt know what happened to it?

I think I saw 21 WC on one of their vans the other day.


I also saw F4 TSO on the same trip, on a Bentley or Rolls. I assume the bloke was a property developer, seeing as how he was eyeing up a half-derelict plot that looked like it had recently been cleared.

I have completely lost track of what is under the bonnet of modern stuff - nothing matches a badge nowadays!

P13 OFF on a mini. Surprised the DVLA let that through.

542 MV on a MK6 Transit LWB High Top in a tasteful orange.
