    That plate was owned by former glamour model Fiona Richmond who posed in Paul Raymond magazines such as Men Only in the 70's.

    FU 2 is currently on a 2000 A-Class Mercedes-Benz 1.9litre.

    But my favourite is currently on a 2006 RangeRover Sport 4.2litre.

    It used to belong to a gentleman of unknown sexuality in Dumbartonshire many years ago. He's long deceased now. Haven't a clue who has it now.

    1 UP U it was spaced out as - the ultimate in one-up-man-ship. ;)
  • The other thing about the OP's "mate" is that if DVLA thought it was worth more than the standard fee it would be off to auction or for sale at far more than he paid.

    I suspect this is one of those decisions he will later regret...

    If I was a bike cop, I wouldn't rest easy until all the illegal spacers out there had been pulled over and done.

    Be suspicious all you want. I can guarantee it was not me that purchased the registration mark :rotfl: I think he's starting to regret it already.

    An army mate who is a black and a Scouser married a German woman from a town called Fürth, he worked as a roofer and she owned a small but busy bar.

    The registration prefix for Fürth is FÜ, for a small fee you can pick the next two letters instead of having randomly allocated ones.

    He picked CK as it means nothing in German they gave it to him.

    So when he visited his folks in Liverpool he has a four letter word followed by 123 on his BMW.

    Many moons ago I remember seeing a Porsche with the reg C 911 YEA.
    Then there was the other one which I mentioned on here before, the Ulsterbus with reg ROI 15.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
  • Regtransfers have placed a valuation of £1000 NET. My friend paid £399 for it. Whether it sells is another thing!
