Personalised number plate

[RWD3M]

I used to think they were naff but must admit I now quite like the idea of hiding the age of my car with a personal reg. I also like them on classics. The ones that are mis spaced or use black screw caps in a convoluted attempt to make an actual word bug me though.

I've got one, can you guess what it is?

 

[DanZac]

C245GHR?
T54MPG?

I just assumed you drove an old banger classic

 

[My Old Landy]

I can't remember my current number plate, I've got no chance in remembering ones from 40 years ago!

I remember the number of my first Mini, it was a 1959 and the number was YGB3. It was stolen and found burnt out.

I have owned 5 mini's over the years and don't remember a single number plate.
I think it's probably because I have never really been a car person. I have spent too many hours keeping bits of junk road worthy to actually like them.
I'm glad I don't do that now and when I give up driving in the new year I won't miss it.

Saw a works van today: DO 12 NUT. No signs on the van, just curious what the plate means.

That will probably end up on a boy racers bmw/twin cam/skyline.

Ted Toleman, F1 team owner, powerboat racer and car transport co owner had twin sons, they had Ford Escort cosworths with TTT222 and 222TTT on them.

VW (at the time a Toleman customer) ‘borrowed’ the numbers for an advert.

 

[Bobtail4x4]

I have a few
my initials and dob
my initials and house phone number
her initials and house phone number
etc

I was once stopped by police and asked what the reg of the car I was driving was, had to guess, fitted plates to everything I can remember them,

Or the local Chief Inspector, if they have a sense of humour.

 

[Farside]

About 50 years ago I was sitting in traffic in Glasgow when I noticed the Rangie in front of me was BPO 1L.
I suspect that white Rangie has long since hit the scrappie's, but the reg will still be in BP's possession.

I remember the number of my first Mini, it was a 1959 and the number was YGB3. It was stolen and found burnt out.

Both the car and the reg would be worth a fair bit now.

I have owned 5 mini's over the years and don't remember a single number plate.
I think it's probably because I have never really been a car person. I have spent too many hours keeping bits of junk road worthy to actually like them.
I'm glad I don't do that now and when I give up driving in the new year I won't miss it.

Shame, I've loved all the many Minis I've owned, and still own.

I was once stopped by police and asked what the reg of the car I was driving was, had to guess, fitted plates to everything I can remember them,

A mate of mine was a bit of a lad, we got stopped one night, when the copper asked him what the reg was he said "why, have the number plates fell off?"

 

[Robotstar5]

The oldest number I can remember was my dads Austin A30? was XOB 239 think I was 5 or 6 at the time, the Landy that replaced it was 441 KAL

My first car was a 59 Morris 1000, 111 HPT. Good number but nobody cared back then.
