still the best plate of all time imo was Fiona Richmond's - FU 2

We used to have in this area his and hers plates IIRC one on a Rolls Royce the other on a BMW 5 series - 1 UPU and UPU 2. Don't know where they are now as I haven't seen them in years. Another one I liked was 9999 NO 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Looks like Fiona Richmond is driving around on an old Mercedes


The vehicle details for FU 2 are:

Date of Liability..........................01 07 2011
Date of First Registration.............14 06 1991
Year of Manufacture....................1986
Cylinder Capacity (cc)..................5500CC
Vehicle Colour.............................WHITE


Tim, I uses to see UPU 2 on a regular basis, it was on a Volvo Estate at the time
A quick check doesn't show either 1 UPU or UPU 2 on the database
Neither is 9999 NO on the database

Tim, I saw a great plate for you on a RRS in Harrogate today, TIM JR 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB
Gone 2011 Bournville TDV8 VSE
Gone 2008 Black Canadian HSE LUX

how flattering, I think T1M SR might be more in my line............. anyway i have a collection of plates on retention so am not really looking for any more. One of our local dairy farmers has B16 MOO on his RRS. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

As many of you will know, in the olden days plates used to be issued locally and the last 2 letters usually indicated the town of origin. Being from Yorkshire originally, I know that the last 2 letters "HE" indicated that the plates were from Barnsley.

The Mayor of Barnsley's limo (yes, honestly!) is (or used to be) THE 1

That has to be the best!!

The Lord Provost of Glasgow used to have GO on his Rolls Royce

About 20 years ago, my pops wanted J5 SEC and A1ARM for the work vehicles, (JS Security) but both were taken, in fact, he saw J5 SEC on a car years back after he had enquired about it.

We got him the next best thing for his 55th birthday, JS 02 SEC so that sort of made up for it. 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

A bit of topic but there is a "timeshare" super luxury cruise liner called The World.............. I would love to become the captain of it and I could quite legally call myself The Master of The World  2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

The World was in Greenock last August, what an impressive setup they have. I doubt if we could ever afford an overnight on it let alone a timeshare

This plate is now on The Lord Provost's leased VW Phaeton....

a friends father collects vintage tractors - some superb plates but i gather they cannot be transferred to cars?

something about only being able to transfer reg numbers between vehicles that require MOT's?

so why do tractors not require MOT's as they use the roads and some of the new 'super' tractors are quick quick?
