Someone paid £14,717 for that in February 2006 and sold it this month for £6,000. That s quite a loss!

I keep reading that plates are a good investment .

Yes, that one example in isolation is sufficient to set a precedent for the market as a whole.

I think it's a good example of needing to get out of something quick and taking what you can get. It was up for sale, off sale, back on for sale...

To be honest it was the vulture in me that made me consider it but I was also looking at a PTS GT4 RS the same week that was dangerously cheap!

Same! I would have bought that at that price if I’d have seen it for sale, rather than sold. Probably not if I was holding out for a car though , understandable.

PU11 OUT on a Ferrari of some sort

VW Caddy passed me yesterday belonging to a prop shaft/driveshaft business, the plate was P9 ROP.

...and yes, that is a pale blue Bentley with gold wheels!

Saw its little sister '28 KG' on a Fiat yesterday, also '1 NZ' on an old Audi, 'JAM 1N' on a Honda, '5EW' on a Hyundai and 'M4GGY' on a Porsche

Followed a Tesla with 1 ON correctly spaced, cool plate for the car. O/T but it was the first new model Y I've seen, and it looked significantly more like a kitchen appliance from the back than the old model did.

Also, saw FAT 1 on a van in the Yorkshire Dales a couple of weeks ago. Drove past us whilst we were string outside the pub.

That used to be on a Renault 5 back in the day (I think they had other FAT variations too), owned by the Fattorini family who originally setup as jewellers in Skipton back in the 1800s and went on to do pretty well, their registered office is Skipton Castle

Minor, but a fair point.

This one?

ps. You know you’ve got a problem when you have a cache on your phone of cars you’ve seen.

Spotted this in Poole earlier.

Whereas "NZ 1" is on the New Zealand Embassy car




I like this one. No mis-spacing. Looks like he used his head....

Not daft or clumsy either!

Spotted whilst photographing cars leaving a local car show.

No pic, but saw LH 79 earlier today on a Rolls parked outside Starbuck's in Longwell Green near Bristol.

Only the third single single I’ve ever seen. I was more excited than I should have been .

I know. The single single owners seem to have a habit of doing that.

[droopsnoot]

This was spaced correctly, but I'm not sure it counts for this thread as it's only special if you try to read it as a word.

But that's the point... Many of the valuable plates read as Names or Words which is why they are valuable and why DVLA continually keep realising then for Auction that said this one looks like its an original 1969/70 issue.
