Cherished Number Plates.

I've just watched a cherished plate being sold at auction .................................... £162,500!
Wow, what I could have done with that money.

I think John Lennon had PEN 15 and, allegedly, Yoko had WOM 13.

Bristol cars used to own 100 MPH. I’d often see it in the car park when I worked at BAe Filton as Bristol cars had their Head Office on the same site. Once saw RR 1 (on a Roller of course) as it passed Harrods.

I used to own a Saab with R31SUT. People would often ask how much I'd paid for it. I never figured out what they thought it might mean.

Around 1980 in Newcastle I used to regularly spot a brown Capri with

STN 1G

A few years ago there used to be a car in my next street with

RU 12

apparently Max Bygraves owned MB 1. Mercedes Benz asked him to name his price for the number plate.

A few cars back, at the height of my golf obsession and with some thoughts of being off scratch, I bought (cheaply!) XV03 PAR

I don't think it ever actually got on a car!!

I've said that when I get a decent car I'll buy one, but with current second hand prices.......

Years ago, I was behind a Range Rover with the personalised number plate AR51 OLE.
I can't find the photo at the moment, but I am sure I have it somewhere.

One of my customers was selling his car with the plate JIM1V I was going to buy it until he said it did not include the number plate ( I was bit more ignorant about number plate retention back then).

Saw that when he was entering the car park at St Mellion (the Rolls Royce was a bit of a give away that it was 'somebody')

I don't think plates with 4 consecutive letters ever issued.

Personal number plates are great, because they are like a tax on the stupid!

Keep up Bob

A round with Alliss

For those of a certain age, and perhaps a bit poignant with the recent loss of Michael Parkinson
