Real Good Number Plates Vol. 6

[NomadicTurbo]

Spotted 1 WO this morning on a Bentley (not sure which) near to Airbus North Wales with a Bentayga behind it.

I believe this is a Bentley owned plate

1 WO is Bentley's registration, the WO stands for Walter Owen Bentley who founded the company.

It was acquired in March 1996 for £15250 + the bits...

Thought so! As it was a little strange seeing the Bentley's in convoy outside of Crewe

I saw the 1x2 from a distance and fully expected the regularly spotted Malcolm Walker (Iceland) 1 CE plate

1 CE sold for £16750 + the bits in November 1992. Both plates are worth considerably more today...

Spotted '1 SOE' on a Rolls Royce yesterday, maybe on a special mission, any idea of the value or history?

Growing up he used to live in Myddleton Hall by my parents house, also owns/owned 1CES, MW1, 1WM and PH5

His neighbour's son at the time who made a small fortune in the early days of paying for mobile phone ring tones etc, also had some nice plates such as 1ANS and 40WNS and PHO11E before on cars like a Murci and Rolls Royce before he had a little misdemeanour with his wife in a hotel in Paris and decided to use Malcolms grounds as a hide out from the police.

Cool story bro and all that!

This has now moved onto a 640D. Amused me, anyway. Made me think of Boogie Nights.

If you Google 1 MYT you may be surprised who could have been in the back. The colour is a bit of a give away

Oh! There was absolutely no security and I was also in an FFRR so same height hence I got a good look in, enough to see it was an Autobiograpy, but only saw the passenger's arms holding the paper intently reading, as the thing slinked by on our way out of London. Did look very well dressed

Addendum



Looks like the Caravelle has gone substantially upmarket

Wonder what's going on here

Yes, I expect so. I was in Belgravia on my way out to hit the M4 back over to Exeter, saw him just past Hammersmith on the A4 heading in the same direction.

EDIT: Also just remembered it had a thing on the roof - leading me to assume mayor of london or something. Cool to know it was royal, weird there was no visible security presence though!
