First up is an 820 SLi with strange plates - Channel Isles?
I hope the owner won't mind me saying that it bears a number of battle scars. It must be a local car as I have seen it twice within a week now.

The other car that was spotted was an early 827 SLi in Hereford on the 11th July at 4.20 pm on the Asda roundabout. Registration was H436 FNM - I think NM is Bedfordshire? Colour was a dark green. No pictures as we were both in traffic :(

Those are Irish plates before the new system used now. Many people get private plates such as DAZ or CAZ, my ex brother in law had FIL 530 which was on a Capri and meant Phil's 30 ( a birthday present to himself I think)

I have DJZ4800 on my Sterling, slightly spaced to leave the 800 at the end.

My dad also has an Irish plate on his bike. Until the recent cheap plates about that was the easiest way to hide a cars age.

That'll be a NORTHERN Irish plate - format still in use today, AFAIK

FIL 530 looks to be a Republic of Ireland plate, IL for County Fermanagh?
