Private Registrations

More and more people are realising that private registrations aren't just for displaying your name or initials, but that literally thousands of 'naughty' private registrations are available to buy.

Take PEN 15 for example, which adorns a Smart car owned by Dunstable-based Regtransfers.co.uk. This private registration was even famously banned from being advertised in the UK's leading newspaper, despite that particular publication printing pictures of semi-naked ladies on a daily basis. This cheeky little plate has certainly raised a few smiles in the local area.

In fact, the plate was even featured in men's weekly magazine Nuts when a reader sent in a photograph of the private registration along with a comment suggesting that the plate may refer to the personality of the driver!

Schoolchildren are often found lurking around the car after school, taking photographs of the car on their mobile phones. For such a cheeky little number, it really has become a local celebrity and boosted the popularity of private registrations in the local area.

Perhaps this could be matched with ORG 4N? Alan Burke, a meat importer from Kent, bought the private registration ORG 45M, but was forced to sell it when his wife refused to get into his car! The plate is now up for sale with Regtransfers for £150,000.

Billy and Hanna Smart (of circus fame), own the private registrations BS 1 and FU 2. The FU 2 plate was even seen by the Queen as she rode past Hannah in Windsor Great Park. One was not amused! However, there are plenty more registrations that could have offended Her Majesty far more than FU 2!

More private registrations to slip through the net at the DVLA censoring office include BOT 70M, ME51 FKR, OO05 LUT, 100 NOB, and W777 KER. Perhaps Hanna Smart feels quite relieved that she wasn't sporting H1 CNT when she encountered Her Majesty.
