I saw a '555' plate on a Vauxhall Vectra today! It was a private plate - bit of a waste really

No, BAT (British American Tobacco) are still a sponsor through the 555 brand. If you look at the SWRT website, the official name of the team is the '555 Subaru Rally Team'. As to whether the brand features on the car, I think that is probably down to local laws on tobacco advertising. The last time I remember the cars running with the 555 logo was Cyprus.

Me too have 555 - and if it's "old hat", so what, it matches the age of my "old hat" car should that be "classic shape" I guess I must have "classic" plates then too

Cheers mate

Have had it on sale for a while but had a lot of timewasters.

Think I'm keeping it now as a second car.

And another one

S555S##

Was on the car when I bought it, bird said I should change it (back to a W reg so we can keep up with the Jones's!!!!)

But it isn't really top of my list of priorities, at least it's easy to remember.
