Real Good Number Plates Vol. 6

[Southerner]

Recently spotted several times in Hants, CU 1 on a lovely old cream Merc 200. Must be worth a mint.

Great plate, just makes you smile

I'd push 'em together and happily be in the other thread.

That’s been on that car many years

AU 1 is another that is around - Goldfingers number plate on his Rolls from the movie too

Apologies if this has already been spotted. Good reg for an NHS plutocrat but I doubt they would be driving an older bmw diesel. Parked up in sunny Chesterfeld.

Fabulous number

1 NHS sold last year at a DVLA auction for over £100,000 inc fees. It sold for more at a prior auction but the buyer failed to complete hence it being re auctioned.

NH 3 belongs to a friend of ours.

How many multiples of the value of the car is this plate?

Many!

That used to belong to a sewing machine manufacturer many years ago and was on the MDs Rolls Royce - probably going back to the 1970s now - there’s an old picture of it in one of the number plate magazines

In the same category is

FEC 1T

Which I see regularly on a cream Audi A3 parked up in Long Preston on my blasts up to the Dales and Lakes.

Great plate and always raises a smile.

Originally from South Shields that number iirc.

CU 8 used to be on a Kawasaki motorcycle and seen locally.

That’s quite often seen around.

FA8 is a quality number too.

The two letter number one plates are the top of the tree really.

DVLA have no more to issue as they’re all in circulation - the last two they sold were IG 1 and 1 RH before that both for around £250/275,000.

FA 1 is a great spot.

Think it was CUB 1 that used to be owned by Cubbi Broccoli the James Bond producer.

Feddie Laker. What a bloke. He created the world of cheap air travel we have today. But he had to fight every inch of the way to do it. Powerful established airlines pressuring weak government to put obstacles in his way.

A bit off topic there, sorry

He used to have FLY 1 which was auctioned off in 2006 for only £70,000 or so back then.

What a plate

What a plate

He seemed like a nice guy. His first business flourished during the Berlin Airlift when he provided staff and war surplus planes to take supplies to the blockaded city, doing some of the flying himself.
