Appropriate registration numbers on cars...

Makes more sense.

Debbie Magoo has since sold it or was trying to sell it for £150K

COM 1C may have belonged to Jimmy Tarbuck, but the last I heard it was on an elderly Rolls Royce owned by Paul Daniels.

The car was stolen outside a gig he was doing at a workingmen's club in one of the former County Durham pit villages.

His career had hit the skids by then.

From memory, the car was recovered following a press appeal.

I thought that was MAG1C

I do like those with a sense of humour.

Which car should I use today?

I have heard the theory that a personal number plate disguises the age of your car.

It's definitely not theory. Although you can only make a newer car look older and not vice versa

Yup, I could put MT09 WEE on my 2015 Yamaha MT09

Not quite, if you have an older revision of a car, update it to the newer version, by newer headlights. mirrors, grille etc. then change the plates to a non year specific, it can look like you have a newer car than you actually do.

It can do but that is a very seldom used reason for having one.

Face lifting bodywork isn't quite what I was on about.

I know but I have seen it done for that reason, when we had our MR2 Turbo because of the mods you couldn't tell which revision it was, unless you were well into that type of car.

Are you remembering that correctly? That's not a valid sequence. Might it have been T1BYA?

I had K700 CRX on a previous Honda of mine (you can guess the model). Someone where I used to work had a Honda with the registration V6 NSX.

I am wondering about some of the plates being mentioned here though - they appear to flout any index format I am aware of.

1150 MAN? SPEC 5?
