corvusxiii Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Saw a parked up car yesterday in Cas rejoicing with various Tigers stickers and a the registration number WF10 CAS, (WF10 being the postcode). The best though was CA54 EVA. Brilliant! Any other sightings? TESTICULI AD BREXITAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've seen plenty of HU11 cars around here. Or HFC/HKR plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fevtom Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Every other car you come across in Featherstone seems to end in FEV. We often have a game of who can spot the first one whenever we go nip out somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep1673 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 During 2011 there were a lot of cars being sold in Hastings and St Leonards to people registering them in the Brighton area, the prefix was GU11, and as Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. are known as the Seagulls, we can see why. The last car I drove had the plate LL 10 NWP, L10N being as close as we could get I once saw a RL Player with SCU11 (work it out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 That's a Chevrolet not a Chrysler. W1GAN used to be on a black Land Rover I think, sure I saw it a few times when watching Wigan at London games. Different sport, but Wasin Akram used to have WAS1M on his Bentley when he played for Lancs CC in the 90's. In reply to John WP Fan, no, all plates follow age related letter and number sequences. You can buy any released plate and put it on your car provided it does not make the car look younger than it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Saw a Car in Hull once with "VEG4S" on the plate. Made me wonder if the driver was ace... (One for the older forum members there.) Stacks of car plates with HKR as consecutive letters in Hull, they must be quite cheap I imagine. SteveReed100 is an expert in this field, I wonder where he is? Hull FC....The Sons of God...

Eagle Warrior Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 The W1GAN plate belonged to John Martin who for a time was a director at Wigan. He owned the Riverside club at the front of Central Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 5 hours ago, John WP Fan said: Are fully personalized plates not a thing in the UK? The short answer to your question, John, is 'No'. As I understand it, with the modern style of registration, the first two letters must indicate the place where the vehicle was registered and be followed by two numbers which indicate when the vehicle was first registered. The final three letters are random. You can buy or sell registration numbers, but they must follow that format (or one of the earlier ones used to register motor vehicles) 11 minutes ago, Whippet13 said: That's an illegally displayed numberplate, the first two 1's have been amended with a black plastic screw cover to make them look like a H.

Correct. Not long after this it was changed to be displayed properly (legally) and has been on Hetherington's cars for about 20 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am correct, I worked for DVLA many years ago. It's illegal to make correct numbers difficult to read as potentially someone can avoid speed cameras fines or police tracing for offences etc by altering them.
