Not sure about the above, but I have a similar story! I was at Tower Bridge a couple of years ago and I saw an Aston Martin Vanquish, looked at the number plate and it was '007 SPY', looked at the driver and it was Daniel Craig! I thought that was pretty cool, that's my only claim to fame!

Another similar story here! Was on the M4 a couple of years back and an Aston Martin DB9 passed me. Reg plate was 'DB9'. Probably some Aston bigwig on his way to London for a meeting (it was about 7am).

He's local to Devon and owned it for years..

A few that live in these parts;

MCP1 Chubby cigar smoking guy in a Bentley

ECO1 on another Bentley

DE11BOY on a Rolls Royce

Owner of a local clothing company Blacks in Wallasey has these;

4NN on a Mini and B14CKS on a Range Rover! Small fortune there!!

Don't forget that millionaire with the reg F1 on his Bugatti Veyron!

My favourite has to be the 22B with the reg number 22B!

Cool!

There was an old Berlingo van knocking about here with H8 on it. Haven't seen it for a while now though.

"1" isn't a valid plate. It must have been a foreign plate and couldn't be British.

Most Expensive Number Plate - Number 1

"1", £7million, Saeed Abdul Ghaffar Khouri, Abu Dhabi, 2008

Saeed Abdul Ghaffer Khouri demolished Talal Khoury's previous record earlier this year when he bought a number plate bearing the single digit "1" at an auction in Abu Dhabi. Mr Khouri, a member of a wealthy Abu Dhabi family, said: "I bought it because it's the best number." He wouldn't say which of his vehicles he'd be putting the number plate on.
