Cherished Number Plates

rustymotor · 30th December 2017, 06:49

Was thinking about some of the cherished numbers I had owned over the years, one was 491VY which was on a Minor 1000, the car belonged to a chef in Harrogate, he used it to keep his dog in it when at work, the dog had eaten most of the interior..

This morning I looked on check MOT history and the number is now on a Jaguar XF registered October 16.

I had seen the number on an Aston Martin in Hampshire many years ago, I just wondered if any other members had some numbers they wish they had now or still own ?

Happy NY to all..

I owned an Escort with TWO5S, sold it on cheaply car and reg. Tried M.O.T. history. Just says right car but no history.

I put XDZ2259 on a Peugeot 309 Goodwood I owned many years ago.

At the time I didn't have the money to put it on retention when I sold the car, so it went with the car.... And it's still on it - Well the car shows as Sorn, with no MOT history.

Always wanted P4 ULS for me, and my wife has always wanted JUL 1E which we saw on a Citroen BX GTI many years ago. No idea where they are now

I have MY05 ZTT on my ZTT, for obvious reasons and X6 LBL on my Cooper Sport as a tribute to the 1967 Monte Carlo Rallye Mini LBL 6D, (it's a Mini thing ��)

I had VVW 59 on an Isetta Bubble car.

Wish I still had it as they now go for silly money, sold it in 1975 for £25.00 with a years MOT.

There's a WE57 BAR near us. It's on the car of the owner of WEST BAR caravan park.
