Saw this earlier in the forum, someone mentions a loophole being closed for Irish cars number plates been transferred in '87, any more information on whether these can be transferred, as am interested in buying one.

That was probably me, and it was probably 1986 when the current Irish plate system made its debut.

Prior to that it was possible, under certain circumstances to transfer an Irish plate to a UK vehicle. That route was then closed.

If an Irish plate made it to the UK prior to that date then it can be freely sold/transferred.

If you're wanting to transfer one now, even if the pre 86 format then you have more chance of 1 AN becoming transferable.

Some decent spots around Nottingham today:

H4 LLS - Porsche 911 (just £6k plus the bits in 2000)

OO 14 - Range Rover Sport

HO11 LYS - Range Rover Evoque

JAS 4N - BMW X2

111 Y - Jaguar E-Pace. Has always been on Jaguars and a favourite of mine that I see regularly.

I saw a couple of good ones yesterday:

G31 ATO on a the van of a local ice cream producer
12 V on a Range Rover of some kind

I also recall seeing 6 AK on a new-model Maybach S-Class, but I must be misremembering as the online checkers show this on an Evoque.

Not whether this belongs in this thread, or the bad thread TBH...

F457 BMW on an E46 M3. Correct font and spacing etc. Probably worth a few quid to the right person.

I don’t think anyone knows now to be honest.

This thread used to be about spotting of low letters and digit plates or historically significant ones or even very expensive ones, but now anything goes.

You only have to look at a few posts above yours to see that plates which supposedly spell something are now included.

I guess it’s now down to the poster what is “really good” or not.

111 Y lives in Newstead Abbey Park, I believe.

It was a few years ago (and I can't go back through 72 pages to see if it has already been mentioned) but two cars side by side on a driveway in a posh part of London... 2 BOR and NOT 2B. Thespians I suspect.

I used to see them parked by a swanky white house , Cheyne Walk

It always has been.
One of the plates in the very first post of the thread was a mis-spaced plate that would never meet the 'rules' now.
I like single singles and historic plates but also like those that spell out words or names.
FWIW I quite like F457 BMW as well.
