Is this the greatest private plate ever?

I don't find most personalised plates quite puzzling and wonder why they have bothered.

Helps you find your car if you can't remember a 7 character sequence...

A certain Mr. Dallaglio is often to be seen driving around SW London in a Range Rover with W4 SPS.

Knew a lady in Spain with an old roller with numberplate RR 9 - she reckoned it was her retirement fund.

My personal favourite one seen was FU 2 on a roller a few years ago.

That used to be Fiona Richmond's E-Type.

Prior to that, it belonged to Paul Raymond, who had it on his Rolls Royce. He owned Raymond's Revue Bar in London, the first nightclub in London to offer full frontal nudity.

Years ago on the way to school (over 20 years now) I used to regularly see a Saab 900 Turbo convertible with the number plate 'L5 AAB'. Also on several occasions saw an old Fiesta which had the plate 'OO7'. Never did work out whether that was a real legal plate or not.

OO 7 is out there and at present it is on an 1987 rolls royce

OA to OZ were oxford registrations so chances are the numbers OO 1 through to OO 9 are out there somewhere unless they went unreleased and then they may appear in a DVLA auction at some stage

And the Pakistan embassy has PAK1 and 1PAK. I hope I'm not accused of being a racist for pointing out these. If I remember rightly wasn't PAK1 featured in a certain Michael Caine film in the 1960's?

Most of the Embassies have similar variations of private plates relating to their country name.

This link has an interesting list of most of them

I'm not a fan, it should be mandated that all owners of personalised plates must throw them in the bin and replace them with TW4T

I much prefer a proper plate showing the registration year so that when I get a new one I can look down on the peasants for 6 months until I become one myself
