I remember my childhood next door neighbour (a newsagent) had 5PPD on his Mercedes SL (R107). Class!
He's long since left this planet, but this thread reminded me of him and wondered where the reg is now. Clearly it's gone up in the world, presently on a 2015 Rolls Royce Corniche.
I think he'd be happy with that.

I saw the plate number 8 on the m5 near strenhsam once. I'm hoping the vehicle was a shocker but I imagine it was a flash one

A1 and 1A are both local to me and as previously stated on a Mini Cooper R53. Brother of Sultan of Brunei. Paid £1m for one of them I believe!
Saw A4 last weekend on a regular small hatch!
As a teenager I wanted GUY 1, which was on a series 1 Jag in Itchenor. Old boy called Arthur - go figure! Sold for £7k 20 years or so ago. Probably 6 figure value now!
One of my sons called today to inform me of this, currently at auction; https://collectingcars.com/plates/612-fer-number-plate

A1 is certainly on a Mini but not sure about the brother of the Sultan of Brunei but then again when has the internet been the source of truth. 1A doesn't show as a recognised plate on the DVLA site

F1 is currently for sale again. I'm assuming the owner is holding out for Bernie Ecclestone or a McLaren F1 owner to make their move......
