The plate now on my Roadster originally came with my BGT in 1980 when "1" plates were routinely issued. So although it means nothing I kept it. I've had one person point out that it spells "**HIV", which hadn't occurred to me. The Roadster came with a C2 xxx plate which I put on MrsW's Polo, (known as Thunderbird 4). Coincidentally this plate has my father's initials. He metaphorically fell off the edge of the world in 1956, and took the Hillman MInx with him. Not all bad then.
