Thanks again Tali! Why would anyone pay any money for that plate? unless they wanted to look pourer infront of their friends and neighbours

puzzles mw aswell , i can only assume some sentiMENTAL attachment to the plate, perhaps first car they owned or link to family member who owned it

That plate might be linked to petrol theft?
Saw it on Car Wars a nearly normal looking plate on a newish car, there is an anacronim for it?
Am trying to HPI it now....

I sit corrected it HPI's as A Touran TDI Pd 03-04,
Thank you Money Super Market insurance quote page.

I saw an X reg Montego on the M3 the other day. The X was at the start of the number plate though...

Some obscure little operation was still manufacturing these monstrosities until recently

i;ve seen a jag xj40 on a P-reg -when its facelift the x300 starts on a m-reg.
Just today i saw L786AUY on a 2001 peugeot 406
X -REG montego is weird -although that is not an old number plate on new car but new plate on old car

One of my cars is registered on R plate but its an 88 Quite normal for imports to get cocked up by the dimwits at DVLA!! I know someone else with an R32 skyline circa 1992 thats on a 53 plate I kid you not.

Last skyline R34 sold in uk was a 53 plater-poor guy thought it was unique.....until now!
Had a friend with r -reg 911 turbo lhd, previous owner (in uk) retained his private plate, so DVLA had to issue new one but "couldn;t find details of car" and issued it with a 02 plate!
