We were driving out of Cobham (Surrey) today and saw a Bugatti Veyron with the number plate 'GP' on it, is it legal?

Yes..
As in GP 1?you can probably put what you want on a Veyron
Legal ? Yes .
Eye watering expensive ? definitely .
Not on "we buy any car"
No just 'GP' which is why I was wondering if it was legal, also it was an older man (55-60ish) driving, didn't recognise him as a celeb, but clearly wealthy though.Originally Posted by Jackwibble
Blimey, doctors are gatting paid well these days..........
Maybe this one? http://www.gpluxurycarhire.com/bugat...bugatti-veyron
Only €19000/day.
Not legal must have a number if it's a GB registered vehicle no matter how rich you are.
Maybe a lightly altered 6P?
At a slight tangent, I overtook one of these on the M6 a few weeks ago. OK it was on the back of a flatbed* at the time but it was still quite satisfying. Who says the MX-5 is underpowered?
* As well as being back to front.
A quick check on the dvla vehicle enquiry website reveals the plate is 6P and the car is 7 years old.
And it was painted black as per GOV.UK website, but it showed as GP on the car number plate, bit naughty :-)
I have seen a few plates with just numbers. Anyone know what that is about?
Diplomatic plates?
Channel Islands?
Foggy
More specifically Guernsey. Jersey ones have a 'J' prefix.
The best number plate (combo) I've seen belonged to this pair of cars.

They were parked along the river from the north side of Battersea Bridge, but I have no idea if they are still there.

On different cars now, but still there. :)
OP, I have seen the same car in Cobham (coming out of the junction opposite Waitrose) and I thought the same thing "was that letters only?!" but I had a sneaking suspicion at the time he'd been a little naughty with a G for a 6. As a previous poster confirmed, this is the case. Owner had his lad in the passenger seat the day I saw it - can you imagine your Dad driving that as a kid. Brilliant.
Currently in Khan's window in Leeds. Bugatti Veyron reg F1. £899,999 for the car. Rumour has it the plate is available for offers on £10,000,000. The salesman told me Ecclestone had bid £6.5 million, true or not I wouldn't like to comment.
