Re: Worst personalized number plate
Years ago one of our neighbours called Kevin - quite moneyed with a big house he'd had built for himeself - got H1 KEV.
Feedback some months later was he regretted it as everyone took the P1 SS!

This is exactly what I'm on about. The woeful plates that even when explained still don't make much sense.Hellhound wrote: ↑2 Dec 2021, 12:24pmA friends wife had J600 ENA as her personal plate.When I asked her what it was meant to say she said it was her name.I said "so your name is J600"? she replied "no it's Jenny,ignore the 600 and it says 'Jena' which is short for Jenny"thirdcrank wrote: ↑2 Dec 2021, 9:57am If that's correct, it must be a good candidate for being the "worst personalised number plate" if the best spells something.
She wasn't happy with my reply

Re: Worst personalized number plate
Should have asked if the '600' was an age representation.

I saw 1 8 TAX on a bloatwagon on the Isle of Wight (presumably "I hate tax"), as it was taking up some 75% of the road paid for by errr... taxes I suppose that the owner doesn't understand irony.

How about this one Cowsham, a poor enough pun for you ? Fitted on a Ford Mustang 'Bullitt' - Ford's modern homage to the Steve McQueen film of that name's '60's Mustang.
It reads more like something a landlord with property infestation issues might use.Nu-Fogey

It seems weird they've put the white screw cap on the B so it looks like a G, negating an already weird choice , unless the owner's an admirer of Dutch football legend Ruud Gullit of course.DaveReading wrote: ↑7 Dec 2021, 8:03am I had an attack of the gugs once .... never again !

Yep -- to add insult to injury -- the car looks nothing like the Steve Mc Queen Mustang.colin54 wrote: ↑7 Dec 2021, 4:28am How about this one Cowsham, a poor enough pun for you ? Fitted on a Ford Mustang 'Bullitt' - Ford's modern homage to the Steve McQueen film of that name's '60's Mustang.

One has to be a sandwich short of a picnic or just deluded to think it may mean something that is rational, certainly very little in the way of logic used.

Re: Worst personalized number plate
I've not only seen but travelled in a car with the reg plate 80TOX. The owner (at least at that time) was a plastic surgeon.
Years ago in East Anglia I saw what I thought was P19 5TY which I thought was hilarious and I wondered if the owner had pig farming or pork processing interests but the gov.uk website doesn't bring it up so it was either something similar or made up to look like that (there's a lot of pig farms round that way).

Re: Worst personalized number plate
I don't think that there has ever been a configuration of year letter + three numbers + two letters
ie I believe that ever since year letters were introduced - originally the letter A at the end - there could be 1 - 3 numbers but always three letters, originally denoting the licensing office, more recently the DVLA's regions.
So P19 STY is theoretically possible, although I don't know if it was ever issued or if it still exists

I read somewhere that single digit plates were not issued after a certain date and all plates started at "20".thirdcrank wrote: ↑7 Dec 2021, 8:59pm I don't think that there has ever been a configuration of year letter + three numbers + two letters

My searching skills are too poor to get a result but I think it is correct.
Edit - this refers to older three letter/"three" number, plus suffix/ prefix letter types.

Re: Worst personalized number plate
Thinks: perhaps the regs could be changed to require a brief explanation of the plate in a Geddit? sort of way.
That my be developed to that when somebody applied to the DVLA for a special plate it could be rated a bit like the strength of passwords.
