No Idea, it was a Manx bike bought and used in the Isle of Man, we still allow black and white number plates if the car is of a certain age.
Appropriate registration numbers on cars...

It's been about ten years so I might be mis remembering but I'm pretty sure. Perhaps TIB 1A?
I spoke to a friend who worked at the Hospital ( Poole ) and she told me that his Wife was also a Surgeon and had FIB 1A ( though she might have been making that up )

A barrister of my acquaint has or had A19 GUE on his Mercedes.
Supposed to represent 'argue'.
Many years ago the Tory MP for South Worcestershire, Sir Gerald Nabarro, had NAB 1 on his Daimler.
I see wiki says he had NAB 1 to NAB 8.
He used to live nearby to me, and I recall seeing his wife in another NAB, but I wasn't aware he had such a long series.
Best known for sponsoring the bill which introduced health warnings on cigarette packets.

Aaaah - IoM, that splains it.
A friend of mine at uni (30-odd years ago) had a motorbike that was registered in Guernsey; it had the number plate 568. He was very proud of this, as it is the number of millilitres in a pint.

Chap know bought a new VFR750 when the first came out- reg as F750VFR. Throughout the bikes life he was pestered to sell it, and about 8 years ago he finally did and it's now on another 750 VFR. The cash he raised close on covered what he paid for the bike nearly 30 years previously, as it was then.

Try and trump this one.
There's a person I "know" in S.Wales who owns an Aston Martin DB5, the personal plate is DB5 and guess what his initals are?

B5?
This football related post reminds me of a trip to see Shrewsbury Town play at Preston in pre satnav days. I got lost in the outskirts of Preston and a car reg PNE 1 passed me in the opposite direction. A quick U turn to follow him direct to Deepdale!
I sued to play football for Willersey which was also near Sir Gerald’s home. I have a memory of seeing NAB 9 on a moped ridden by his gardener, but it was 50 years ago and my recall may be faulty.
Former Shrewsbury Town director, chairman of Shropshire Ford dealers Furrows and squire of Cound, Freddie Fry had FRY 1 on his Granada and his wife FRY 2 on her Capri.

A few years ago I saw a Mercedes Sprinter all liveried-up in the name of the company Xtrac - reg plate RAT 10S. Made me smile, but it is a bit of a geeky one.

I've no idea who Steve Parish is. I just used to see a big guy in a huge white car - BMW or Merc - with the reg.
I thought he must have s great sense of humour.
