    I have seen any number of Porsche 911's with '911' appearing in the numbers. Also used to see that Aston Martin with the plate altered to look like 007 (as in Bond, James Bond) someone mentioned a few years' back.

    Saw a 2008 Ferrari F430 with reg plate 08D 4301.

    Also, this: :D

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

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

    I'm wondering now if my friend's mini was "1 MNI" and not "MNI 1". Either way he called it "Anagram"

    What years were the two regs?

    1 MNI would be 1983


    MNI 1 would have been much earlier. Probably mid 60s

    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)?!
    Dublin 1978.

    Any premium car just looks better with a D-reg. It might be ridiculous or snobbery, but it's something that the market seems to agree with too.

    A lot of premium cars are leased vehicles. Most of the leasing companies head offices are located in Dublin, so they will always have a "D" registration plate, regardless of where the car ends up in the country.

    It's easy to get a D reg when you get a new car, just get the dealer to put in your address and instead of the actual county put in Dublin. When you go to tax it online using the vin number change the address to the correct one and you're sorted.

    Potentially also gives you a better resale price/wider market if you choose to sell after a few years.

    633 CSI and (iirc) 635 CSI

    I remember them well, there was also 628CSI, CSI628, CSI633 and CSI635.

    My last car, a Carina II, had a very special reg 89LH****. It was a one owner, bought by a man on his retirement in 1989 from Lufthansa. His work number was LH****. He lived in Dublin but used his brother's address in Louth to get the number.

    I don't see why not, TIK was a mid 70s Dublin issue.

    Ok thanks, it was "1 MNI" so.

    @Blue850 - Interesting that you knew about "1 MNI". Did you know the car? I'm almost sure it was black with some white. The first owner's initials were "TM".

    Ok, so, in late 1999, I reserved 00D1150. Cost me IR£250.00.

    What did I reserve it for?

    I recall many muscle bikes of the 80s and early 90s had the cc In the reg.

    There was a Focus T230 with the Reg 00LK7230.

    I remember before lads used to Register M cars as “113” or “115” and then put a very faint v between the two ones to make it look like an M.

    Actually 08D113 is an Example.

    There was a Renault Clio around with the reg **C 410, which read **Clio, which I thought was clever, given the restricted Irish system. I don't think the gubbiment realise what a money spinner they could have on their hands issuing private plates.

    That would be a cop car, low Dublin numbers are nearly all cop cars

    My previous two cars were G and MH regs and they always took something away from it for me. Thankfully balance has been restored with my recent purchase :)

    You need to get out more.
