not sure it exists. PEN 15 does though, last heard of on a flashy merc.

Ho ho - PEN 1S (or it may have been PEN 15) was on a Daimler that used to be parked on the south side of the South Circular just before Kew many years ago. I would often pass it early in the morning parked but I never saw it on the road.

OHP 150F was issued by warwickshire, dont know where it is now

I don't reckon either of those were ever issued but if so they are Bury, north Manchester registrations.

Well one of them definately was, as I passed it on a perhaps weekly basis for a couple of years !

PEN 15 would have been Bury, according to my post-war AA book.

I *still* don't reckon they were ever issued, did you ever see it/them move? Someone probably had them made up and just stuck them on when parked for a laugh.

I like the NZ system of number plates - any 6 or fewer alphanumeric characters that nobody else has (and that aren't deemed "inappropriate"). The system slips up quite often tho - RSOLE, 4NIC8,

4NIC8R and PEN15 are/were all in circulation.

PEN 15 is well documented. DVLA say it's on a 2003 MCC Smart on which the licence expired on 1/3/2007.

A friend of mine was over there a couple of years ago with an air portable on a shortened R/R chassis, I think he had DRTBOX or something like that on it.

Crikey. What on earth is my C5 CSW worth, attached (obviously) to my County Station Wagon?
