BRE 4D

Correctly spaced on a Disco 5 in Somerset earlier.

In a similar vein "AHE 4D" on a Ranger, shame about the 4D plates

I agree, but without them, it would spell something entirely different....

Does this belong here? St James Park area at the weekend..

What’s the story/history of this ‘format’? Is it a Channel Islands plate?

5005 OO miss-spaced, sold last year for £17,810 + the bits

It's not often I'm stumped by a plate , but that one had me. Many thanks for the clarification.

It's quite a good example of what used to be termed "cover plates" I guess, something that used to be able to be picked up for a pittance to put on a bus that had been re-bodied where the owners didn't want the customers to know the shiny bits they can see are glued onto a 25 year old chassis!

They've sort of taken on their own relevance now though and are collectable in their own right.

I guess when you look at some of mine, for example PRO 5T. I'm neither called Prost nor have a car historically linked to the F1 driver but I like it for what it is-I do like the fact it means cheers in German but who else is going to get that?!

I do think it would look ace on one of those Lanzante 911 with the TAG F1 engine fitted-especially one of the ones which Alain himself used but my pockets aren't deep enough for that!

Outside Wimbledon Park Station, presumably headed for the tennis SW19 SET on a volvo

What is that spacing?? Such a chav waste.

I'm not sure if this car belongs to someone who looks after James Bond's horses or someone who is a retired spook.

I refer you to the car it is attached to

A baker’s dozen.

Currently on holiday in Cornwall and spotted OOO 400 on a well used XC70 in St Ives, complete with the Kernow flag as a love heart.

Coincidentally, I spotted OOO 300 this afternoon on a BMW 4 Series in Dorset.
