Private number plates that represent words and names are a perennial favourite with enthusiasts, and it's easy to see why. Of all the different types, names and words are the easiest to recognise and so they have the biggest impact. It's all thanks to the incredible ability of the human eye and mind to spot patterns, especially familiar patterns.
We thought it might be fun to combine a trivia quiz and people's ability to spot the words and names represented by some of the personal registrations for sale on our website. The questions vary in difficulty but none, as the saying goes, are rocket science. As with most quizzes, all you really need are a good, basic general knowledge - or Google.
Below, you will see a selection of registration numbers and a list of questions. Simply find the registration that represents the word or words that are blanked-out in the question. Each registration may, or may not, be used more than once. Some in the selection may not be used at all.
