Reg that suits the car

Doublebusy

Whats the best irish car reg you seen
Loads to choose from obviously
One the first i noticed was 00-D-540
It was a brand new bronze volvo s40
The reg was made to look 00-D-s40


Or did you ever own an irish car with a reg that meant something specifically to you

Turbolounge

04-LS-430 on a Lexus ls430

User1998

I’ve seen

54 for Audi S4
53 for Audi S3
77 for Audi TT

Duke O Smiley

My dad knew a fella who bought a new Ssangyong Rexton with 05-MO-515 or "osmosis"

Atlantic Dawn

Subaru WRX STI with 05D571

French Toast

IIRC there was a Corolla G6R with a reg something like 00-G-6 which was pretty cool.

Remember having also seen a few boring Peugot 206s with 206 plates.

Eggs For Dinner

Back in the day. Renault 5 Gordini. Blue, 5UZI. My dream date.

My da had a Porsche 911, I don't remember the year or the county but the digits were 911.

It's actually mentioned here somewhere on Boards, by someone who spotted it about 10 years ago or more!

Del2005

Wasn't there a BMW with the same reg as its model? IIRC it was 645 CSI

633 CSI and (iirc) 635 CSI

The J Stands for Jay

I saw an Aston Martin with cc D 1007, but with a large gap between the 1 and the first 0.

I don't want to drag politics or Brexit into discussion but I was in Birmingham 2 years ago and seen a personal reg as they do in UK. D15LEO. I Have a photo somewhere to prove it.

Marcusm

I reserved MA12CUS at one point before it was released but chose not to proceed.

colm_mcm

There’s a Peugeot 205 owned by a Peugeot indie mechanic with the reg GTI205

I believe there’s a bit of a story behind how it got that reg, and that it was originally assigned to a Morris Minor or something.

Toyotafanboi

Pretty sure 05d15200 is a Lexus IS200, subtle but actually cool. Not many 5 digit options for an Irish reg.

Whats the reg mean

For Forks Sake

Back before the charge went to a grand there were plenty of Peugeot dealers reserving 206, 306, 407 for themselves each year.

I've seen an M3 with reg 03-L M-3 doing the rounds before

For Forks Sake

Forgot, used to work work with a lad who had a 320i coupe with reg -D-3201

Roadtoad

In Belfast there's a hearse which sometimes attends the 'republican' end of Milltown cemetary TC OL or something, 'Tiocaidh Ar la' Help me get this more accurately guys.

Tipp car 10TN10 (say it). Cute, I remember advising a Tipp friend to book it, in about 2008. He didn't, but I saw it later and said ahhhhhhhh.

Edit:

Its T111 ALY

I saw it at the Bobby Storey funeral.

Captain_Crash

Know an Aer Lingus pilot who flies an Airbus A330 and drove a Merc a few years back with an xx D 330 reg.

WestWicklow1

Rolls Royce in London many, many, many years ago 1DEA

Have a photo too (on paper) somewhere.

It's on a RANGE ROVER VELAR now!!

RandomViewer

Used to be a Cavalier around Letterkenny in the early 00s with the plate H1 SUR

Back in the black & white days, every county had specific letters in it reg numbers . Dublin had ZI. The reg 5 UZI was put together sa 5UZI (Suzi) and the Renault 5 Gordini was a sexy little minx. Always thought the reg and the car were made for eachother

L1011

xx LS 400 was pretty much always on an LS400 driven by someone in Toyota Ireland.

Back in the day you used to be able to reserve already assigned plates, if the first car had long since been scrapped etc. GTI205 would originally be a mid 50s Limerick City number iirc.

MIN I (Mini) was originally on a 1969 Ford Escort from Kerry, and was later assigned to a Mini (predictably).

Both GTI 1 and GTI 2 were on a pair of MK1 Golf GTI's owned by two Limerick Brothers. Both Reg's were originally assigned back in the 50's , but the Guys who managed to get them re-assigned were big in the Commercial Vehicle Trade...which possibly helped with the swap.

Pharmacist in Limerick. Brought the Car in himself from the UK and had to jump through a few hoops to get a Leitrim address (but his name) and to have the number held for himself.
He also has a lovely E9 CSL.

MIN1 was transferred to a Nissan Micra K10

I used to own a Peugeot 407. 06 RN 407.

Toyotafanboi

Eww, RN.

The Royal Scam

My mams last car was a Volvo C70, 01 C 70. Her car before that was an Escort Ghia. My dad Jim followed the previous owner home and offered to buy his car, the reg was 810 JIM. My dad is a little quirky

Ah, yes, that rings a bell. I was thinking of the blue Mini EIE10 (Old McDonald had a farm..) in my last post.

WestWicklow1

A friend bought a new Mini, way back, and got MNI 1. He called it Anagram

Blue850

01MN1 is on one of the last of the old mini Minis

He must've sold on the M3, used to see it around Mullingar direction quite a bit.

D15LEO is Dublin 15. Leo (Varadkar). Obviously a fan.

Roadtoad

In the old school days (was it pre 1977?) Kilkenny, in charge of the 'IP' tag, skipped RIP-13.
Source: I saw it in the Evening Press.

Reg plates in Malta use similar format to the old Irish ones, walked out of a hotel one morning to see KKK666 parked outside.

Allegedly a farmer in Clare had a van

EIE 10

don't know if his surname was McDonnell or not.

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

Saw one just today on a convertible Merc that just said "IMGIFTED" suited the person more than the car if I'm honest !

Maybe it's a false memory, but I distinctly remember seeing a car in Dublin one time with the reg 666 EZE. :eek: This was in the 80s -- it was a fancy car, BMW or Mercedes. Where would a license plate like that be from (besides the underworld)?!

KevRossi

Saw something like 95-CE-320 on a Merc, though I can’t remember the exact year.

Volvo often got Cork plates for the cars. Saw a very tasty lady driving 98-C-70 with her top off a few years ago.

Roman Abrahimovic has VIP1 an old Kilkenny number.

You've reminded me of two hearses I saw years ago that both had plates that were RIP 1234 or whatever.

I'm not getting 10TN10.
