Null - avoid!

I'm not a huge fan of vanity plates, so this elicited a certain degree of schadenfreude

Saw recently a Corvette ZR1 with the plate. U WISH. Wonder how many times this will be keyed? Mind you, there was someone in Florida that somehow this slipped through in the system, UCK YOU and I think he had to replace it after being caught for speeding. Wonder what the Officer said to him

I don't mind vanity plates. Had 4PF many years ago and should have kept it. Think I sold it between 1996-8 for around £6500, but can't remember what I paid for it originally, shouldn't think more than £1000.00 if anything like that. So I believe they are(or unless they changed the rules) an investment. Wonder what its worth now? Remember when young, Max Bygraves lived in the Branksome Park area near Bournemouth and saw his Roller with MB1 on it. Didn't Mercedes either offer him or purchase it for 1 million?

Very, very long time ago now I once saw: TON 100 on an even then quite old grey Mercedes

Still a long time ago, just not as long, saw: 100 MPH on a black Porsche 911 Turbo

He enjoyed driving, and owned the personalised number plates NAB 1 to 8, which he attached to his large garage of cars including three Daimlers.

As a schoolboy delivering fish in the holidays, I called at a house with a car (possibly a Jaguar - it wasn't anything very ostentatious) in the drive with the registration plate A1. I asked whoever came to the door whether this was genuine and was told Yes, and that it belonged to a charity. Lucky charity!

A couple of years ago I saw a Range Rover in a golf club car park - number plate 3 PUTT

(might have been 3 PUT )

Ended up in the middle of a roundabout, or somesuch...

Then again, there was that appearance on Any Questions.

And who was driving? A cause celebre

There are two vehicles in the Ilkeston area, where I used to live, which somehow slipped through the DVLA decency filter.

4COF and 4KOF

I have decided that I want a personalised number plate so I am changing my name to Kevin-Simon Richard Norman Williams.

In similar vein, tee-shirts have been printed with the expression "well oil beef hooked"

It's a test for non-English natural speakers or even those unfamiliar with Midlands accents.

Was it "whale oil"?

Of course.

[marronier]

Haven't seen it for 20 years but 505 EXY used to be a common sight around the district.

[Rhyd6]

Landrover near us has BUIIMUD which as it's usually covered in the stuff is most apropriate.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Chelsea...
(a few years old now but the plates are still registered to an Aston Martin and a Range Rover)

A friend of my father's was the original possessor of MAD1, probably worth a few quid now.

I saw this plate on a Rolls Royce many years ago but assume it's since done the rounds (as it were):

https://www.regtransfers.co.uk/info/pen15 (2005?)

Can't find it here https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ConfirmVehicle so, just maybe, someone has done a Bobbitt.

If The Mirror is to be believed, it is one of those that wasn't banned (2015):

Also see https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1216707&i=8720 (2015) suggesting it was at some stage on a Merc and may have belonged to Steve Parrish (He is permanently banned from the Chinese administrative region of Macau after blowing a brothel up with a home-made bomb made out of firecrackers, when several of his fellow riders were being 'serviced' inside. from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Parrish#Personality)
