A question to @RobClubley, are you able to do a search on GB1584?

I had the plate on a Mk2 Cooper S rally car I built from a track saloon rolling chassis in 1972. Body was originally a Mk1 and I believe it had been campaigned in the Dulux track series with a 970/1071 engine.

I ran it in the Heatway and Caledonian Safari rallies in 1973 under Woolcraft NZ ltd sponsorship.

Looks like the plate no longer exists

No photograph to substantiate, but today I saw a classic case of a number plate worth more than the car.

The car was an older circa 2005 Holden (Vauxhall/Opel) Astra with peeling paintwork and generally rundown appearance (so worth about A$1500) and the number plate was a South Australian issued "3".

 

Bear in mind that each Australian state has its own government and system responsible for controlling and issuing number plates and it only has to be unique within the state so there is 'duplication' across Australia

Current bidding for NSW issued "1" is around A$8m. Previous record was about A$2.17m for NSW issued "4"

Neighbours daughter drives an Audi registration DA15EYX but had a gap between the Y and X creating DAISEY. However when she pulled up today the letters were all correctly spaced so I reckon she’s been pulled up for it 😂

Hi it looks like you've posted whatever your problem is in the wrong section of the site but I'm assuming you're having issues with your head unit. 

Please also be aware that the language to be used is English.

I've converted your file from .heic to .PNG in case it helps others who may be able to help. 

 

"Hi, has anyone done updates for this unit, where to download the file and how to do it"

 

Cześć, wygląda na to, że opisałeś swój problem w niewłaściwej sekcji witryny, ale zakładam, że masz problemy z jednostką główną.

I think you mean Eddie Stobart. The Eddie Stobart name is used nowadays but there are far, far fewer on the road. The company was mainly taken over by Muller, of Muller Rice fame, and the majority of the trucks are now branded as Culina. In our area these trucks are most frequently being used to service Morrissons supermarkets.

Another name which was just as famous on the continent was Norbert Dentressangle. This company was bought out and is now XPO logistics and is frequently seen here.

Missed that.

Anyways whilst googling it the actual structure is :

Parent Company : Müller

Who have the subsidaries :
Müller Milk & Ingredients
Culina Group


Culina Group added Eddie Stobart in July 21 (With William Stobart being Deputy CEO of Culina) bringing its list of subsidiaries to:
Culina Logistics
Fowler Welch
Stobart
Stobart Europe
Great Bear


Culina actually acquired GreenWhiteStar Acquisitions ,which comprised  "Eddie Stobart, Eddie Stobart Europe, iForce, The Pallet Network, and The Logistics People" , from  Logistics Development Group

Corporate restructures & acquisitions are fun ;o)
