Finally purchased my first dateless plate, 18 UE. I believe was the cheapest 2x2 for sale.

Looking forward to putting it on a car and maybe a decent long term investment?

Can anybody please shine light on when it was issued? Thanks

At auction September 2019 £2400 plus taxes etc

BTC 500X is up to more than £35000 in the current auction.

What am I missing about why someone is prepared so much for it?

I did wonder if it was British Touring car related but BTC 1X only went for £2780 last year.

Bitcoin?

Some reference to someone making a fortune with Bitcoin?

Hopefully not a 'kerb crawler' with that plate

Thanks for that, yes it is an English plate, I thought that the reverse single D's were issued in the 1953 to 1962 year range so being a 1957 vehicle it might have been on there from new (even if the plate had been issued earlier then transferred)

As Oxford Drinker says above, reverse D was issued between July and the end of August 1964. This would therefore have been issued at the beginning of that period. So, it's a show plate, or much less likely it was acquired as a private plate before export.

No picture, but spotted what looked like a concours condition silver birch or light grey DB5 or DB4 in Sutton coldfield today

reg 400 DB

Cannot see it on dvla though?

Edited by Mr Squarekins on Friday 14th May 20:36

Try 4000 DB

Believe it or not, I was on the way to the optician!

400 DB is out there somewhere though - was bought for £10,000 plus bits in 2013

If that price is true it is ridiculous. I don’t even know what it is - kiss this?

Is it Keith's plate maybe?

As a Keith I object to that plate! That is an absolutely stupid price for a plate that needs to be severely bodged (hats off to the buyer for not doing so, mind)

In my village today I saw SAM 303 on a nice white McLaren and 1GOE on another vehicle which I refuse to identify as it's horrendous. This is part of the Igoe family's fleet - which includes quite a lot of other IGOE-related plates.

Also acquired a lovely 2x3 in today's auction.
