Talking of Bury registrations - there was an 'interesting' reg knocking around the Burnley area for years in the 80' and 90' s - TEN10T. Not seen it now for years.
I don't particularly see the liking for these abstract personalised registrations people put on their cars that mean absolutely nothing, however an ''interesting' registration, I get..........to a point....

TEN66 used to be knocking about round here years ago .... can't remember on what, but it was just an ordinary, also ran, kind of car.

and the obvious PEN15 ..... the world was a simpler place back then

There is the 'urban myth' about the reg. PEN1S, but that was purely what it was...a myth. Even in 1977, in the early days of the DVLC (as it was then), it would never have been issued.

but PEN15 was issued  though it doesn't seem to be recognised on the gov ved check  but then again, neither does TEN66  and I can't see that having been returned to Swansea

Really, your mind, Mr Rangie.

I was talking about contact breaker points. Honest I was.

can you still buy a Sparkright box of electrickery to f**k the points off?

Any car I bought that had them would be modified asap .... 

[Doctor Gollum]

Apparently you can, but it went for more than I was prepared to spend... Besides, it had been off the road since at least 2006, so it had much bigger issues...

Like sills, rear quarters, not running etc, etc

It's about £40 to replace the points and condenser with electronic. Although if it's a common distributor, like a Lucas 45 as used on millions of BL, Rootes etc cars, a complete new distributor is about 50% more and eliminates any wear in the old one. Used them on several cars, and they're money well spent.

Talking of memorable or valuable registration numbers , a jeweller who I knew quite well in Chester his father had the foresight to buy all his kids a registration plate, their surname is Kay.

Those are good plates, just for their simple / old format. But no one would know their significance unless they knew the family.
Interesting plates that are immediately recognisable for their humour or interesting format are ok in my book, but other non descript plates that mean absolutely nothing to Joe Public always give me the impression the owner has visions 'above their station'.
Just my thoughts......
