There used to be a car in Cardiff (think it was a Cortina or Granada) with the plate OBO110X

Great news. Plates are cheaper on DVLA website. Another oner saved.

Re: Personalised Number Plates

I’m not a fan of personalised plates but both my girls have them
They actually read their first names and initials which is something they can take with them through life.
My cousin however had the personal registration plate ER 2
His name is Eddie Rabaiotti and the family owned several restaurants and take aways on Penarth seafront.
His former restaurant “The Caprice” hosted a dinner in 1982 after the Pope’s mass in Llandaff fields
He was made a “Knight of the order of St Gregory” by Pope John Paul and Prince Charles attended offering Eddie a hundred grand for the plate which he declined.

This sounds like an urban legend.

Re: Personalised Number Plates

I had a personal plate for 15 years or more. Mrs M had one as well. Mine also matched one of my email addresses. But we have just scrapped our two old cars to buy one new motor for us to share.

We decided to let the personal plates die with the cars. Too old now to be stressed about transfers, retentions and extra paperwork.

More than happy with my new motor and the gov issued plate that came with it (which starts CF)

I bet Charles has ER1 too in his family, but a £100k almost 40 years ago would have been close to a £1m worth today!

Re: Personalised Number Plates

To display my status in society, rather than have a personalised plate, I've got a bumper sticker on my Porsche that says My Other Car is a Focus 🙂

Mick McCarthy is selling it, having recently bought it himself from Malky.
