Let's See Your Personalized Plate

When I was driving my Mini - it seemed everyone had a vanity plate. When I was little, these were reserved for exotics and limousines....I think the Box can fall into the first category still

I couldn't help but pay tribute to my roots....

My name is Les lees (LS5 1EES)

In the uk it's illegal to put on a license plate that makes your car appear younger than it is, luckily mines a 2001 MY

I've never had a cop mention the plate name. Frankly, I don't think they know any German.
