    It used to. My colleagues and I used to see it in the early 1990s on Wood Lane, London W12.

    Hmm.

    Registration: <the wife's car that got sold to a scrap dealer on Thursday>
    Make: JAGUAR
    Model: XJ SALS (4 DOOR SALOON)
    Colour: GREEN
    Size Details: Width - 225 Profile - 55 Wheel Size - 16 Speed - Z Load - 95

    Wrong. The manual said 225/60 R16, not 225/55 Z16.



    Registration: OOH11
    Make: VOLKSWAGEN
    Model: TOUAREG (ESTATE)
    Colour: BLACK

    That used to be on either a Ferrari, Lamborghini or similar and I used to see it on the A40 in the early mornings flying into the City. Each of the '1's had a bit cut out near the bottom so the registration read: OOH!!


    My Dad's car many years ago used to be maroon:

    Registration: NYK245L

    Entered the details for the smaller model and it gives the correct results for the bigger engine.

    Hmm, someone's made a boo boo there.

    Yeah, I thought it maybe was just for the photoshoot. I used to do stuff with cars and motorbikes for television years ago, an ancient plan B that has long since been sold.

    Oh they got this one spot on, I had to go out just to check, it's fun...

    Well, I saw a Jag XJS with that number plate. Might have just been for a photoshoot though.

    We've found your vehicle but unfortunately we don't have any details of your tyres.
    This may be because your vehicle is:
    A commercial vehicle (e.g. a truck or a taxi)
    A motorbike (please use the Motorbike Search on the home page)
    First registered prior to 1983
    An import
    Just one we don't know about!
    If this is the case, please use our Tyre Size Search tool:

    I thought reg plates have to be a combination of letters and numbers - what are the all number ones? CI Plates?
