I saw EGG 30X on a Rolls Royce phantom the other day, didn`t look like the sort of motor someone who keeps a few chickens would own.
Wow... I sold that number about 30 years ago...! I was out in Leeds one night and spotted a VW Golf with that number,I put a note on the windscreen saying I would buy the car.... to my surprise I get a phone call a couple of days later and after a little negotiation I bought it with the original issued number... I advertised it with Reg Transfers for iirc £4000 and was sold to a polystyrene packaging company in Bradford who manufactured egg boxes...Yankee Romeo said:

Notice how KH stands for Kingston upon Hull.
Not just a coincidence? (Maybe) Nottingham was AU, which is gold Yankee Romeo said:

My wife saw D50 on a Land Rover Defender on Friday on the A428 near Bedford. Must be valuable and early issue perhaps around 1905?
Early yes, issued by Kent CC in December 1903. As to value, i'd say an easy six figure plate.WhiskyDisco said:

This is rapidly becoming an often transferred plate after spending many years in hiding.
From memory this is the only Dawn running a 1x1 (pic lifted from elsewhere)
Not the only 1x1. Here is one from Solihull last year From memory this is the only Dawn running a 1x1 (pic lifted from elsewhere)

£100K + for D 50? I doubt it Infact I doubt it's worth half that
53 D is currently advertised for £80K but as we all know asking and getting are two different things..?Sir Bagalot said:

He paid in the region of £130,000 for one of them and the other cost him near enough £500,000. Personally, I would regard a like for like original issue to be of more worth than a DVLA auction issue. However that is again a rule of thumb on my end. There are always exceptions.
