Seeing Gaz's thread about selling his private plate and the subsequent conversation about what numbers "mean", got me to thinking if you've ever owned any cars with registrations that you wish you'd kept hold of.
When I was about 15 my friends and I clubbed together to buy an old 1300cc mk1 Capri just to tear around the dirt tracks up the mountain. The car was a total shed, couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, seriously dodgy electics and no brakes to speak of, but it's registration number was AOK 90K (I read it as AOK 9 OK). Good number, wish we'd got that off there before we scrapped it!
Anyone got any they wish they'd held on to?

OU02USB its the easiest to remember plate I've ever had, the english plate over here seems to be quite unique over here and its handy having the year in the reg.
I can't understand some plates going for big money though my cousin spent £600 on a number plate with 135 in it, and lorry drivers seem to go mad on plates with 143 or 144 in them.
I once had a friend had a numberplate H47 USA. Tried to get him to sell it as one of those hummer limos would suit it, but he scrapped it with the Audi 80 it was on.
My old MAZ plate that was on the ZX would have suited a Mazda driver, and the PEZ plate from the Xantia would've suited a sweets collector.
My 406 was SCZ, if it was registered a little earlier it could've been RCZ and could've sold it to a Pug coupe driver.
I do put all of my Northern Irish numberplates on newreg.com but they never sell and all they offer from the £250 sale is £100 anyway, not worth the effort.
I've seen a couple of nice numberplates I fancied - IOI 1010 which looked like a binary number, and L18 NUX was up for sale a while back.
There was a fella on the Citroen club was selling his number plate off a Xantia - XAN71A.
