There's a guy around here who has M4 on his Range Rover.

Peugeot Eccose used to have T44STY on their modded silver 206 with the GTI-6 lump, and I've seen a Lotus Elise with B11 BYE as well.

I've seen <B>FVC 1T</B> on a Volvo estate knocking around the bottom end of the M40 quite a few times.

<B>S1NGH</B> is another regular sight.

The Chief Constable of Warwickshire Police has (or at least used to have) <B>999 FWD</B> on his Jag. IIRC it is now on a traffic car

I wonder if my force would cough up for <B>A1 COP</B> for the front of mine.....

Light hearted question, what are the best number plates that you have seen?

To start the ball rolling I saw PER50N on a Golf and I used to have P16 ONK on my pug (now on retention)...

A 110 WME - Written 'ALLOW ME'
on a 911 in Bermondsey.......

A thread last week mentioned PEN 1 S or summat - I saw PEN 15 on a pink Ford Anglia in Balham (but this was 1994 so its probably been sold on by now for big bucks)

Mind you, who'd pay big bucks to have ***** as their number plate??

Max Bygraves has MB 1 and gets offered a top of the line Merc each year for it.

Reliant tried to source the car which would get ROB 1N and offer big bucks for it.

There's a BMW convertable in my street with the plate

M3 BMW

How much is that worth. I reckon the plates worth more than the car.

Some years ago, saw Paul Daniels driving his roller with 'MAG 1C'.

Also, there used to be a Morgan Plus 8 in the Henley area with 'PLU 58' on it...

Have spotted these that I can recall:

AUD1 on an Audi, strangely enough!
Local VW Dealership has VW1 on a Beetle.

Both of those must be worth a bomb!

L4PAU, on a Dodge Viper which read LAP 4 U.I guess that belongs to a Table Club owner.Or perhaps one of his dancers!

DEM111Y, on Selwyn Demmy's Roller

5WRT on a Scoob @ Pembrey Service Halt, Network Q 2000.Did I hear that belongs to a certain Mr Lapwoth?

S111RTS, on an XK8 spaced and drilled to read SHIRTS.
