The most apt I recall was the young tearaway in an Escort Mexico - APR1K.

Best plate on a Roller was Paul Raymond's FU2

Fiona Richmond had a yellow E-type with the FU2 plate. I used to see it regularly in the Kings Road back in the early 1970s.

Sorry Carl.

My memory failed me. Paul Raymond's pink Roller was BS1. But these plates do move around a bit, and it is now on a blue Roller. That's why I got confused. See the full history here: https://www.tiktok.com/@numberplatehistory/video/7455008081546726688

I've also seen a Range Rover with the reg GUM 800T

best ive seen is OGO2L--it was on a jag then--i know its been on others.

I think Charles Rolls and Sir Henry Royce would be utterly ashamed that their names were on such a monstrosity. No grace, no elegance, just a boring SUV on steroids, but then elegant cars are a thing of the past now. Bring back classics like Duesenberg and Delage and Delahaye...

Cheers,

At one time, the Number plate PEN 15 was fitted to a mobility scooter ( one of those light blue things ) that had installed a full race motorcycle engine. It was owned by an ex motorcycle racer.

I did see the plate later fitted to a Porsche.

Most prestige big saloons / 4X4 these days seem to have the styling of a brick.

I believe that person was Steve Parrish who, after closing his motorcycle racer career, went on to race trucks
