A couple of months ago I saw PEN 15 was for sale. It probably still is. They wanted £120000 for it!

There's one near me S4TAN which makes me chuckle, and there was S7EVE which sold for £36,000 a couple of years ago.

I nearly bought one for SWMBO SL52SLW we were talking of getting married but never got round to it and that plate would have worked out with her old intials to her new ones SL5 2 SLW

Renault were very quick with the 10 plates and got all the suitable CL10 ones!
I'm quite lucky with the plate on the Bx, is local reg on a normal plate but only having 2 numbers it appears to be a private plate, G69 DCV
i keep looking for PHY 411 or 41L as our family surname is Phyall but seems not to be a plate, would love to be able to buy it for my pops, doubt it would ever happen though, T1 MMO was on ebay for ten grandish, T1 MMY was £72000!!
I do agree that on older cars they tend to be the better looked after ones!

So, how much is W4NKR worth? Or is someone already happy to keep it in their hands?
