escondidoron Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Saw this plate last weekend in the U.K.: Has to be one of the best, or at least most significant, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 That looks like the plate on the late Graham Nearn's Super Seven SS Twin-Cam (the grille bars look like his SS, but the headlamp brackets should be curved, and a bit lower, I think). One of 13 or 14 Twin-Cam SS's, the rarest Seven variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskossie Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 A friend in Colorado (BTW, he's the former owner of one of the two Lotus Seven SS Twin-Cams that made it to the USA), has a good plate on his daily driver: CUL8RBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 My Caterham has the Colorado plate ONABLAT. I have to explain what it means to everyone except Se7en owners. And yes, I know, the wheel is on the wrong side of the car. I had to move it to get the beater Miata in the shop and didn't pay attention to orientation since they were coming back off the car before it got driven.

frizille Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I went with KAR120C since I've got a BRG w/ yellow 7. Nobody has asked about it yet; I think most just assume I can't spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very upscale for a Seven as far as creature comforts go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdaddy Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Just received the "new" plate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdog Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I went another way. Here in Washington state if you have a classic car and you can find a serviceable number plate of the year of manufacture. You can register it with that plate. I was able to find a pristine plate from 1983 on ebay for $30 and did a permanent reg for $55. And I'm done forever. No annual fees under a classic registration & out here in flyover country, The rozzers don't really care that I drive it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
