I frequently see FLY1 on a 2012 Bentley Continental GT near Steyning in Sussex. Though a lovely car, at 9 years old I imagine the plate is probably worth more?

It used to be owned by Freddie Laker.

Spotted this ages ago, I possibly posted it back then. I quite like ‘clever’ plates, with no fudging required

Is that in Ivory White? (or whatever the fancy name for it might be)


I can't understand why anyone would pay 80 grand for a car and then order the paint in a colour suited to hearing aids and old people's bathing appliances, lol.

Totally agree - but then some will order the (in my opinion) 'gopping' new M3's and M4's in the custard yellow colour that accentuates the hideous grille - no accounting for taste....

I've never been a fan of wraps but that 911 would be an ideal candidate if it was cheaper due to colour choice for later owners.

Similar numbers were famous in the 1960’s for having female Police officers patrolling the A406 N Circular

Quite possibly because they are London issue numbers from March 1963. You didn't happen to ask the previous owners about your plate by any chance? How long they'd had it and so forth. Seeing that the Commer was launched in 1960 and was in production till 1974, there's a good chance that was the original number assigned to that van.

At least it's not that hideous primer colour that Audi drivers seem to love so much.

But that sort of flat grey colour was an original colour on very early VW Beetles, wasn't it? So sort of a tenuous link to German motor history...

Or have I been looking at one too many resto-mods?

Crayon is popular here in the UK also known as Chalk in N USA and is the best selling new Porsche GT3 colour there although imo it looks too much like cheapo primer.
