    Came across this registration plate on an english Jag a while back in a hotel car park in Bundoran. Thought it was very well done.

    It's not an English Jag if it is registered to Sligo and Ireland according to the registration plate, it says Sligeach on the top of the plate. May have been bought in England originally though.

    Good find though.

    Ah it's close enough to spelling Sligo, give the owner the benefit of that.

    No, its an english plate allright, must be owned by somone from Sligo. There is no law for the uk re plates other than size and colour (yellow on black) for rear plate. He/She just ordered the Sligeach, IRL etc on his regulation plate. This is probably an Irish national, living in the UK who wants everyone to know they are Irish.

    But since, in England, you can order any plate you want, couldn't he have just gotten one with "SLIGO" spelt correctly? Unless of course someone already has that, in which case shouldn't that person get the title of best Sligo car reg ever? :p

    You cant really get any plate you want. Has to be Letter - 1 2 or 3 digits then 3 letters or vice versa or one of the new plates with 2 letters at the start or a NI plate. I guess he could have had

    There was a farmer in Sligo years ago called McDonald who had a black Morris Minor and the reg was EIE 10 ;):D
