Local doctor used to have 111 UP and UP 111. He called them “three up” and “three down!”
i got passed by Jimmy White on the M3 in a BMW a few years ago with the reg CUE 130 Y CUE BOY
Sitting in the M6 car park yesterday I was passed by a Bentley 4x4 with reg WH15KEY - I wonder what his/her favorite drink is?
I remember seeing a Bentley (could have been a Rolls) with the plate 'O BO110X '…
Remember back in the '50s seeing a Rover P4 belonging to a Perthshire potato farmer/merchant POT80.

James Dennison of Dennison trailers at Lancaster has DEN150N, also seen an Audi up our way with 7UP on it probably worth more than the car.
I recall seeing Fiona Richmond step out of her Primrose Yellow 2+2 E Type in Praed St Soho. Reg Number FU2 . I was an avid reader of Men Only at the time.
I did once consider suing Paul Raymond re my failing eyesight 
In my youth about 1960 a gang of us would hire an old banger of a coach from a local operator for a days jolly and more often than not it was an old Commer with the registration UNT ***. The owner must have got fed up with cleaning his number plates every time he got it back from us.

Hi Baldrick1953,got to hand to you regarding the eyesight 
… Soho is in the City, in the distant past when doing trade plate delivery up to London getting off the Tube at Edgware Rd,a short walk to the top of Praed St, a bus along to Paddington Station. getting off at The Haystack, quick pint and sandwich, train back to Oxford.

A pal of mine had a DB5 with SPY 111 on it and cut the 0nes to look like exclamation marks. A local wedding car business had a Roller that had been owned by Mike Reid and had JOK1E on it but was transferred. Jim.

You’re absolutely right Oily! It’s that old grey cells thing. It was Frith Street , just round the corner from Ronnie Scott’s.
Cheers now.

Fifty years ago when we were teenagers, and before anyone had thought about cherished number plates, my brother had a Citroen ID19 with the reg DLM 1.
A few years later I had a Hillman Hunter with the reg 83 EWD.
After I sold the Hunter, a few years later I saw it in our local breakers yard, still with the number plates on, but I supposed the reg had been surrendered.
Then about a year ago I saw a Vauxhall Tigra, young lady driving, with 83 EWD on it!
I followed her to a hotel car park and enquired how she came upon the number and she told me her dad had transferred the reg from the scrapper when the Hunter was scrapped, as it was her initials
DLM 1 is now on a Porsche Canamera!
Whilst at Hoyer we had 30 Merc tractors on with Esso, they had consecutive registration numbers J601 HHD to J630HHD the fleet numbers were 8601 - 8630 and the consecutive cab phone numbers ended 8601 - 8630
I used to park up on the Warf at Stranraer, then one night they put up a boom gate just before you when onto the weigh bridge… You couldn’t open the gate unless you typed a reg number into the key board so I used to enter P155 OFF…
One of the best plates I ever saw was in Newcastle NSW… Y RING …it was on an electricians van…other than that all spell the same thing to me…

Did some agency work for Tetleys out of Newton Aycliffe in the 90,s they had about 5 new Mercedes with registration K10 TEA and upwards.
Dave Lee Travis had 1 DLT On his motor home, Regards Larry.
Charlie Drake has CD 145,Of course his correct name is Charles Springhall, & His boomarang never came back. Regards Larry.
Not long sat on the bench Cliffe Hill next man pops in says “you,ve lost your mudguard coomsey !”, buga went down to garage to sort. Next day TM wants a word,always bad news, “coppers found your mudguard jammed into underside of Rover 2000 on M1”, easy to find me it were the one with number plate on.
Week or so later summons for driving unsafe motor, down to Daventry magistrates . “how am I supposed to know when a weld is going to give way” my defense,guilty but no fine or endorsement. Tarmac done as well not sure or bothered what they got.Should be a memorable number but M reg is all I recall
Hi all on the subject of No. Plates.
Back in the 80’s, my younger brother Andy R.I.P. who had spent many years on european work decided to have a break from it. He purchased a second hand ERF 8 wheel tipper to do quarry work. The reg. No. was CUN11T .
Everybody it seems carried a roll of black insulation tape and he got stopped several times while he owned it. Wonder why ■■?
