Graham Wish we had a photo of that
Yes saw that, plates were present from boyfriend and she had to argue as to why the Police thought they were illegal plates even though they were obviously show plates. Think it was a Smart car made by Mercedes.someone may have posted this before in hong kong they tried to ban reg ZESTRA as being too sexy ? and while I am on that subject some of you may have seen the police type programmes on bravo etc relating to no plate IM TOO SEXY on a small pink car ( memory failing } owned by a young lady from Essex
Who remembers Sir Gerald Nabarro the wealthy M.P. who owned NAB 1-9 on a range
of expensive vehicles Wak
PEN 15 was owned by Truck racer Steve Parrish who also has 60CK (Cock)Close to Cambridge where I live the owner to this day has 5 aab in the motor trade
and I believe PEN 15,ELV I5 were issued as was 5 EXY both were obviously hair-brushed for
ascetic reasons! Wak
WAK has the Motor trader got it on a SAAB? as for the Elvis one how much is that one worth ...I do remember COM I C think it was Jimmy Tarbuck ? who owned it if I am wrong someone will put me right
COM1C was indeed Jimmy Tarbuck's Rolls Royce. I met him one day in it coming th wrong way down Station Street (the bit from Hill St to John Bright St), he in the Roller and me in a Midland Red bus. I shouted "You're going the wrong way!" and he thanked me and turned round (not easy in a car that size!).
The first 'personalised' car number was Bob Danvers-Walker's RAD 10, as he was a radio announcer in the 40s.
Old numbers are worth a bit now, because most have gone.
If I think back over the ones I've had - CON966, CUT15 (my barber offered me £100 for that, 2 days after I'd sold the van it was on for £15 scrap!), WOH17, GDG326, EX6754, TOH54 (I did have a Mr. Toh after that, but then he found a lower number and didn't want it after all.) and a few others, they'd be worth a fortune now.
PAT 23 lives on a Vauxhall AstraI once had an old motorcycle, a Panther, with the reg PAT 23 and I sold it for £10 ( oh my god!!):angry:
How much would A 1 and ABC 123 be worth nowadays or are they not issued?
Has Doug Ellis got an AV plate? WAKANUMBA
