    We should remember through its Universal Exports brand Q Branch has a global reach.

    Aww. I can imagine that being a present from someone's loving family/friends.

    I had a similar thought, @Agent_99--adoring family, worthy gift.

    What kind of car is that? Looks like someone stuck an AM badge on something that's not the real thing, IMO.

    I had to look, but it appears to be a match for the Vanquish. Down to the bumper and trim contours.

    I agree that's it apparently the Vanquish (of whichever generation). But I still find it ugly in the original picture. Or at least not Aston-like. May be very personal, but still.

    I can't disagree, @j_w_pepper. And simpler is better.

    MR BIG - the perfect plate for the local drug dealer.

    Something about putting a Mr. Big plate on a Prius doesn’t really work (the last photo).

    Agree, MR BIG should be carefully used. Have to see the driver to really pass judgment, though.

    The reason cherished numberplates have such high value in the UK is that every combination has to fit within the existing system of numbers/letters. In 1920s-1940s a lot of short numberplates were first issued and the ones that have remained in circulation are now exchanged for staggeringly high prices.

    Likewise those that spell words (e.g. the late magician Paul Daniels' famous MAG1C plate) have a high value because of their rarity.

    All of which is totally lost in the US where each of the 50 states has its own system and the plates can say almost anything, meaning that no particular combination of letters/numbers has any real value.

    True, in the US it's set up more for expression than anything else. One can possess the state-issued plate if it's not already taken and with the annual fee, but it can't be sold or transferred to another person for profit.

    007 RIP

    Photoshop unfortunately. The original pic is from Wikipedia and has a better plate imho:

    Sharp little eyes, @BMW_with_missiles. Smaller image, I should have noticed that familiar font overlay.
    (Or recalled the green Aston Martin was posted on Page 1.)

    SometimeS the chosen plate demands an appropriate plate frame. Or counter-plate.

    Do they love Bond or are they Bond-like in the bedroom? We need to know!
