Giok, I remember seeing that Bentley around London in the seventies! I'm sure the same guy had a big American Cadillac with the plate WOM13 (WOMB)on it.
These plates change hands for staggering amounts of money!
A guy I knew, who was the drummer for a "one hit" band "The Toy Dolls" (remember Nellie the Elephant?), used his big pay day to get into the "cherished plate" business and thought that, as my first name is Merrick, I should buy MER 1K from him.
I've never been that wrapped up in myself that I wanted my name on my car but when he told me it was £5000 I certainly wasn't interested!
