Wouldn't be the 1st time - used to get 2 Scorps at the Kent meet with just 1 digit difference.

Thats true i did a vehichle check on mine , Mine is P709 PTC but i got the numbers mixed up and the report said that my car was green cat C and had been scrapped. You can imagine the shock on my face when i read the report, It wasn't untill an hour later that i realised what i'd done

Rich.
Anything with OO as the last two digits was Essex registered,the dealers get blocks of numbers issued to them,therefore it is not unusual to have several consecutive numbers issued to one type of vehicle.

As Gozz says they were issued to County,Borough and City Councils. A list is HERE (http://www.motorcycle.co.uk/Reference-material/UK-Registration-Letters.aspx#byTown). Check out both the Town and Area lists. The latter shows the area whereas the first one shows which DVLA office held the records. Example BP was a West Sussex plate BUT subsequently the records were held at Portsmouth. OO was Essex later held at Chelmsford. ;)

Go on mycarcheck.co.uk put in P288 GAJ (Mine) and then put in P289 GAJ (Another one identical) I had to look in the garage before ;D

Can you remember if these were th ones at the Kent meet as I live in Kent too.

S707ROO is my car! I can confirm that it is alive and well, having recently passed its MOT. Never found out who caused the damage on the front wing, think it must have been a Friday night reveller.

Interesting to read about the consecutive number plates, I did actually see S706ROO (a blue facelift Scorpio) parked up in Gillingham, Kent a few years ago.

Just to run with the theme of number plates....

My Ultima Cosworth, which now lives with me up in Scotland, is S704ROO - guess that was a busy dealer down there

Decided to look up on the web and discovered:
S704ROO: Silver : Mantash in Scotland
S705ROO: Maroon : Budgie
S706ROO: Blue : was seen in Kent
S707ROO: Red : mine, now in Peterborough
S708ROO: does not exist (written off?)
S709ROO: Silver : anyone claim this one?
S710ROO: Purple : anyone claim this one?
S711ROO: does not exist (written off?)
S712ROO: Blue : anyone claim this one?
S713ROO: Blue : anyone claim this one?
S714ROO: Red : Sad Eyes
S715ROO: Red : anyone claim this one?
All are 24V Ultimas registered 1st August 1998, so presumably facelifts?

Mine used to live just off Park Road in town, but have now stored it in a garage in Sugar Way for a few months. I do plan to attend a Kent meet soon!

Mine is a 24v ultima face lift and has the rear parking sensors fitted from new.

At over 200k on the clock and 8 previous owners no wonder it is for spares. Just goes to show how good these bob engines are.

S713 ROO was on eBay last week. Someone paid £350 even though it was a non runner with no MOT or tax and had 'lost its memory for the ECU'.
