GDG326 survives it's on a Audi Q7 S Line
Here it was in its first incarnation, a 1947 Standard Flying 8 tourer I bought to take apart and learn about cars with, and eventually scrapped.

I'm sure I remember COM 1C up for sale in the Birmingham Mail many moons ago. It was on an Austin 1800 at the time. Presumably pre-Tarbuck.
I once had 5858DH on a decrepit 1964 Herald. Put it in "Exchange & Mart" and invited offers. The first of a dozen callers phoned in the daytime, asked my wife what she thought I wanted for it, received the response "Oh, I don't know...a hundred quid??", immediately snatched her hand off and that was it. I think he would have paid about three or four times as much, as I gently pointed out when I got home from work. But there we are. Wimmin!! (And to be fair, I suppose, Blokes!! - who don't provide adequate briefings).

Without the car it was issued to (the first Mini), not much more than any other 1959 plate: in this case, it's the car that holds the value!Most of you will know this reg and the importance of it? 621 AOK and how much IS that worth?

In the late 60's I built a Falcon Caribbean sports car on the base of a 1938 Ford Anglia (what they called a "Ford Special").
It had the number plate CAB 668. I sold the car. Wish I'd kept the plate. Worth at least £25k now I think.
I have two interesting numbers now:
USU 451 on a Honda Prelude 2.2 VTec
N11 BXR on an 1100 cc BMW 'boxer' twin motorbike (both for sale)
My First car was an Austin 1100, reg 748 LOE, it was registered in 1964 but I suspect the car was a late 1963 as it had no synchro on first and the gear lever had a slight bend to it, I believe that the all synchro boxes had a straight lever, can anyone confirm this?
It was a lovely car, I was aged about 19 and it cost me £350 when I purchased it second hand in around 1969, from Wigorn Garage, in Bearwood.
