Eye-catching private number plates with a touch of humour
Number plates are being spotted, photographed, and posted up on various number plate blogs and other websites.
In case you haven’t figured it out… that’s a portaloo on the back of this lorry!
A theme that seems to be very popular with a number of drainage / plumbing / heating companies. We’ve picked a few of our favourite and eye-catching ones. Some of them (see below) are possibly quite risque !
But we know there are so many more out there…?
I often get asked:
“What’s the point of having a private number plate? They’re such a waste of money!”
Would I agree? Well, of course not.
There are some occasions when it does seem like that. It really depends on the ‘quality’ of the registration number itself. Many of the cheap private number plates are fine, but not worth re-selling. Especially if you have to squint (a lot) to figure out what they represent to the owner.
There’s an argument that even the good ones are not adding anything to the look of the car. I can see both views, but I’m inclined to disagree with that view. Some cars look wrong without a personalised number plate.
BUT, one of the clear exceptions to that is if it’s a business related one private number plate.
We’re all used to seeing writing on the side of a van or lorry. So we may not notice anything remarkable about it. But if we catch sight of a cheeky little number plate that fits with what the company does – it gets photographed and posted up on the Internet. And there you go – what effectively amounts to free advertising!
Here are some examples of private number plates being put to use:
