Funny car registration plates

I will preface this by saying yes, I have the sense of humour of a 9 yr old.

I saw the car reg XXXX VAJ yesterday and it made me laugh.
When I was buying my car, I had a choice of several, one of the plates was
XXXX UGE to which I said no thank you.

Have you had, or seen any funny ones? (These are random ones, obviously not personalised... I think...)

Years ago a neighbour of ours - a very attractive woman in her 40s - had a boyfriend whose flash car number plate read HOT 69X.
Apparently he actually was a porn merchant!

That's so sad!

He was evidently very well off - she seemed pretty keen on him!

In the 80s there was a local Porsche with the number plate "WOW 69". I didn't believe it until I saw it myself.

This one kicks around near me, the plate is actually on a Porsche now 🤣

I saw K8FER (beetle in German) on a VW Beetle. Cute.

I’ve seen XXXX BUG on a Beetle in the UK.

BR16TOL seen in Bristol. Apparently BR15TOL doesn’t exist - how frustrating.

That’s not a possible plate. Must be some other combination.

it will be ORG45M. So an “old” M reg originally

Theres a private contractor near us who provides the sewage pumping trucks they use when they’re repairing sewers and they all have TxxxPOO number plates.

Well yes, you’d think but that plate doesn’t exist. I checked it at the time.

I remember hearing about Jimmy Tarbuck’s personal plate — COM 1C.
(On a Roller, I believe.)

In the mid 70s possibly?

No, FU1 was put of a Ferrari in 2022

Cocorico22 · 27/07/2026 22:38

Shade17 · 23/12/2025 14:28

Not possible regardless of spacing

@Shade17 it is possible with pre-1983 format I think

edit: oh no just remembered you can’t have “I” can you… the plot thickens 🤔

Edited

The PP mentioned many years ago so I discounted it being in the past 10 years. Prior to that, the last time FU 2 was on a sports car was in the 70s.

And didn't Paul Daniels have MAG 1C (also presumably on a Roller)?

There was (probably still is) a P00 2 TAX owned by a local accountant.

when I was a kid some neighbours had MOO 5

and our local farm shop has plates on its vans ending HEN, PIG and COW, with the appropriate animal depicted on the sides

Edited

A local vet had SOW and his partner RAT
