Default personalised number plates

A bargain for someone who is a bit of a magician...…...Paul Daniels widow has been persuaded to part with his personalized number plate he bought 30 years ago, with the registration MAGIC.

Only downside,,, the 150,000 pound price tag!!!!!!!!!!


You know you're gonna like it( not a lot, not a lot).

Originally an Ayrshire registration AG, CS and SD were the three registrations but for some reason we lost the AG ones and got SJ

All those original JAG plates came from Ayrshire. JAG 75 is owned by a local businessman and a simmilar plate MAG 1G was owned by a former motor dealer in Kilmarnock.
I still see it occasionally running about locally.

Barry McGuigan used to be seen driving around Belfast, in a red Espirit occasionally with BOX 1T.

But as MGZ is now out in Belfast, get yourself a ZS/ZR/ZT that has been registered in Northern Ireland and re register it MGZ

I think he must have had it longer than 30 yrs, it was on his Ferrari 308 when he came to my sixth form in 1987!! Also saw it in the late 90’s when I ended up stationary on the M4 in rush hour and he was in the lane next to me in his Roller !

The most memorable plate I ever saw was in the early 1970’s on a yellow E type ... FU 2.

That used to belong to Fiona Fullerton - not sure if she still has it. It was up for sale in 2000 for £300,000 (Range Rover included!)

Many years ago, when I worked as an insurance broker, one of our customers bought himself 12 AXE for his Jag.
We couldn't work out what relevance it had to him, the car, his business - anything.
He told us it was because he had a one foot chopper

Yes, but he didn't use it as a rule.

I was looking up Fiona Fullerton, as I remembered her name but couldnt place who it was. This LINK came up, hers was 2FF. FU 2 was another Fiona, and currently with someone of the Smart family LINK.

I have just spent the past hour looking at various registrations, but found an interesting site, and spent most of that time THERE. Some interesting plates, with EEJ1T standing out for me.
