Everyone knows that rock stars drive fast, expensive cars with private number plates: at least, real rock stars do and drummer Nick Mason is as real as it gets. With his bandmates, Roger Waters, Dave Gilmour, Richard Wright and, in the early days, Syd Barrett, Mason made musical history.
Scottish rugby legend Doddie Weir is becoming a familiar face, and a familiar tartan suit, on our TV screens. Even people who don't really follow sport now know the names of Doddie and his friends Rob Burrow and Stephen Darby.
Long time readers of our publications and website articles may recognise the images on this page. We have featured C 5 several times over the years but it is such a splendid registration, and has been associated with such an interesting car, that we thought it was time to bring together the information from our various articles and produce a summary of what we know.
A few days ago the press cottoned on to the fact that private plates are still a lucrative investment and that the market is as lively as it ever was. "Plate Prices Boom!" they declared, and "Top Prices Paid!".
We would like to wish our customers, readers and website visitors a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
