long shot but anybody know who this is - AB8

Range Rover Sport SVR

Vehicle REG: AB8

The reason i ask is that this was the plate previously assigned to my Porsche BOxster GTS and it was put on and removed 3 times.
Now it is on this car and i would love to know who it belongs to.

FWIW the plate is worth a fortune and the same person has other plates ranging in value from 50k to 175k and they put them on my car and took them off again a few times during their ownership.

So if you know the owner or car please PM me.
BTW nothing funny going on here just me getting curious Smile

Ha, no basically, I bought a Boxster gts, that had very low miles, great spec and 5 previous owners (not unusual in the world pork) it had good Porsche history, 111 point checks rev range reports blah blah, basically it’s spotless.

The HPI showed up many number plate changes, which spanned over the life of the car.
I checked with the seller, who have bought and sold the car twice and they concurred that the previous owner had the initials AB, which tally’s up with the letters on the plate.

Anyway, I can’t find out who it is as data protection prevents this but I know the latest plate is now on a rr sport SVR 18 plate.

Some of the plates that had been assigned to my car are worth over 100k and they had a few but the AB8 shows up a few times.
If the car came with the plate I’d have been in clover 😀

The name Andy Bell springs to mind but I doubt it would have been the Andy Bell unless he lives in Kent.

They only provide this informstion if you have a valid reason, i.e. not just curious.
I emailed them before and they told me this.
