I was hoping someone would explain it, but I prefer your interpretation :) you should get a trophy.

2BE and NOT2B are parked beside each other along the Chelsea Embankment - easily seen if you are traveling eastbound.

2BE? What a cheapskate. Obviously couldn't be bothered to fork out for 2B.

2500 doesn't exist as a reg number on a Ferrari according to the DVLA's site. Neither do 250 O, 25 OO or 2 SOO

Last time I saw the car was 2013.
 
Remember when the Vioer was launched in the UK, they bought an old Morris Traveller specifically for the ref plate for the Viper launch... WOW 110T
With a screw fixing between the two ones.
Another one was a pub owner close who decided to keep the plate from his old jag as he had it so long. It was the old square plate with 50 on the top line and the letters BER on the bottom line. Of course new plate was all on one line, apt for a publican.
 
Where I used to live I'd often see a 4x4 with the plate R50 ULS but with the 5 softened and the spacing altered to read RSOULS.
 
When I lived in Holyport near Maidenhead in the 1980's there was a small Suzuki jeep, owned locally but I never found out who by, with the registration FU 2. Obviously not a caring person :(

I don't get that one. What does it mean?
 
I guess so when you pronounce it, but a bit far fetched I would say.

FU2 used to be on a primrose yellow E Type belonging to (or at least driven by) Fiona Richmond.
 
Down by us there are a few related plates, normally on very flash vehicles but not kept for very long on each. IIRC there's 17 GE, 31 GE, @Andrewrallye says he's seen 12 GE as well. Normally on things like Ferrari's, Porsches, Lamborghini's and errr Transits o_O (12 GE has been seen on a Transit Tipper, 17 GE on a Transit Van). We can't figure out whats going on as to why they don't stay on the vehicles for very long.
 
I was working in San Diego in the early 80s and was about to buy a car when I had to go to Australia with my job. Had planned to get the reg plate as 4Q2M8....... never got to find out if it would have been issued.

I'm willing to bet that 1 FA was owned by the Football Association, which had its HQ at Lancaster Gate at the time.

I have no idea about 1 AA though. The Automobile Association doesn't have a significant presence in London, and Alcoholics Anonymous doesn't have the kind of centralised structure which would be conducive to personalised number plates. Are there any other organisations which use the initials AA?

I worked near Lancaster Gate from 2005 to 2008, so the photo would have been taken some time during that period.

Not sure if this changes anything, but The F.A were not at Lancaster Gate 2005 to 2008, so if it was parked there likely to be nothing F.A related unless something was taking a drive for memory's sake!

Oh. I didn't know that. Well, if anybody else has a theory as to why "1 FA" and "1 AA" would be parked next to one another, it's bound to be better than my theory!
 
my plate on my car is


See B6 DOG is selling for £2500 so this must be worth a bit more, but it is not for sale

Sounds like 'Fiona and Adrian Adams' or similar stayed in the area to me and they were worth a few bob :)

Saw the number FLY 8E today - anything to do with FLY BE airlines?

Could be, or may be something to do with an Aircraft maintenance company near Porthcawl in South Wales, they all have plates with FLY in them.
 
When I was younger in the late 70's early 80's living in Colwyn Bay, an elderly lady drove a Merc sports with the number plate N1

Such 'number' number plates are Guernsey registered and I surmise are not on the dvla list because they are issued by The States of Guernsey. AFAIK you are not allowed to drive such a plated car on the mainland permanently, after a period if to be used it must be released back to Guernsey and registered with the DVLA. ( a plate J2500 would from Jersey and if you see G2500 it would be Gibraltar)
