Morgan Sports Car.

[Caran]

On our way home from Dover today we saw a Morgan sports car. It's number plate read MORGAN 6. How is this legal? It was on the front and the rear of the vehicle, there was no sign of any other number plate.

It would be quite legal here in Oz land ....if you're prepared to pay you can have whatever you like ,,,,within reason, of course.

Ps I'm green with envy :))

[Caran]

Actually there was two of them and ea h contained two very old white haired gentlemen.

It's been doctored, Caran. Numbers made to look like letters.

Was it a clever use of a regular very expensive number plate by manipulating the shape of the letters?

[Caran]

It didn't look doctored at all. We were right behind it in the next lane so got a good look at it. As we overtook I looked to see front plate and that was the same.

[tonyav]

Caran, I didn't mean that the two very old White haired gentlemen had doctored the plates their selves ( with Black electrical tape or similar ), but who ever has made the number plates for them has.

Perhaps the car had come from somewhere else where such number plates are legal.

Changing the configuration of letters and numbers on a numberplate to spell something or look like something is illegal, and should cause a car to fail an MoT, but I often see them

So do I, I think that the undoctored number plates go on the car for the MOT.

They put the legal ones back on for the MOT.

The police seldom have time these days to do anything about them.

Don't see many patrol cars these days.

The other car had normal Brit number plates.
