littlebro 234 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I used to have a Land Rover, the country identifier (ie "GB" plate) was "EAK". Any ideas where it was previously registered? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BAZZER 10 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 When I was last in Nottingham, going up Mansfield Road I was passed by a Porche that had SHEIK (driven by a,,, erm,,, coloured gentleman) Here in Penzance we have a MOON (constantly being picked up by the fuzz,,,, painful I know !!) cos it's more important to do this than catch real criminals.

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I first became aware of personalised number plates in the late 50's. Gerald Nabarro, a Conservative MP, drove a car with the reg. NAB 1. and he also had seven other plates NAB 2 up to NAB 8. As I got older and bought my first car, a Vauxhall Wyvern, I thought about getting my own personalised number plate for it. Naturally, I wanted MB1 but when I found that Max Bygraves had turned down half a million pounds for it and an undisclosed amount from Mercedes Benz, I realised I wasn't going to get it. Max did eventually sell MB 1 just before he emigrated to Australia to be with his family. I've since found out that it now belongs to a chap who won £5.3 million on the Lottery.
