This last rude number plate was bought from a DVLA auction. As the bidding started, Eric Craggs (the Chairman of National Numbers) did not understand as to why there seemed to be so much interest in the plate. On asking another number plate dealer he was told the significance and instantly started bidding, against the express wishes of his wife and fellow Director. He was successful in acquiring the very rude number plate. Because we knew it was an oversight, we allowed the mark to return to DVLA to save their embarrassment.
