Pics of apt, rare, funny number plates taken in Ireland if possible

Wishbone Ash

I occasionally see a yellow BMW M3 with the (Leitrim) registration 03 L M3.


Speaking of Leitrim do any of our Leitrim Boardies know if their County Council went from 'SIT' to 'UIT' or did they do the unthinkable and use the 'T'?

TIT5 anyone?

I know someone with 01LS15 which is spaced as 01-L S-15 (It's an S-15 Silvia)

I have often wondered, given our governments needing to take every cent of our money why they dont issue 'vanity plates'.. What i am saying is why cant they issue personalised plates to a person... the plate belongs to that individual and their vehicle carries the standard plate.. when the vehicle is sold on it takes its 06 plate or whatever with it and the person keeps the personalised plate. In these days of modern technology surely it would not be to hard to record who owns what plate. Ok.. so the present system is easy to understand but why not let each person ahve their own plate and the vehicle have its own plate??? Am I being a little niave on this?

1. The owner of this Antrim registered Porsche must be exercising his/her religious liberty. I wonder would they park it in the Lower Shankill. :eek:

2. Apt registration for a Porsche 911 Carrera 2.

3. Nice one on a Roller.

4. Bond-007, is this your Audi?

I vaguely remember seeing TIT at home when I was a kid.

I saw a UK reg Audi A4 about a year ago with the reg: A4 NVY. According to the HPI website it's on an X5 now...

05 C 206 - on a 206
06 C 1800cc - on a 206 again. Must be proud he has a tiny little engine.

I know someone with a 911, O6 D 911.

yellow012

Saw an ice cream van around Naas with the reg 06 xx 99.

Blue850

There was a Polo with the reg 00 G71 with a black screw beside the top right of the 7. I know of a Fiat 127 1300GT with the reg GSI27.

RobAMerc

Anyone see Vroom Vroom last night.
Some ponse paid 300k stg for "51R"
Thats crazy when you think it was on a mclaren slr worth the same amount !

Blitzkrieger

Previous record was 200k for A5TON. At some point it becomes obscene.

Blue850

I've seen a Sunbeam Tiger at classic car shows, not sure of the full reg but part of it is 4748 which has been altered to read 4.7 V8

01 LS 3 on Audi S3 in Portlaoise

I presume it was a 206cc model (i.e. Coupe Cabriolet- not cubic centimeters)

Fey!

There's a 4wd in Galway with the reg 05-MO-515, but with no gaps or hyphens; it reads "OSMOSIS" - I think it belongs to a water company.

Very clever!

**-C-70 on a Volvo C70 coupe.

An old top gear ( 30 min) did a feature on number plates where Paul Daniel's had MAG 1C and someone got PEN 1S! K1 NGS was the highest price plate then.

I hear TOS 5A is on a BMW 5 series.

A friend of mine loved the Peugot 406, and would buy a new one every year, and the plate XX-KE-406 to go with it.

I actually saw the PEN 1S plate on a blue Merc in Mayfair in London in 1988... Guess it may have been owned by a guy called Richard...:D

The point is already a very distant memory to these people.
