This website has a make-your-own thingy. The plates may not be available to buy bit if it's an avatar you want, you can take a print screen & crop it...

There are two like that PEN1S and PEN15, Steve Parrish has one and I think it is Nick Mason who has the other!!

There also used to be a TVR dealer with a bright yellow Cerbera wearing N1JTS which was pretty cool, and saw another with BAD541T with the 4 done like a calculator 4, i.e. H with a leg missing

Back in the 60s, used to see the local teds driving around the Isleworth area in an old American drag with the PEN15 plate.

Jasper Carrot (a UK stand up comic, most popular in the late 70s/early 80s) used to tell a story about a mate of his who lived in California. According to Carrot, you can get any letter/number combination on your license plate there, as long as it's unique and not offensive. He asked for, and got "BOLLOCKS", Carrot claimed, because the word was unknown in the States. Brits would laugh their socks off at the plate, but the Americans were none the wiser. Carrot's punchline was that the guy's American girlfriend asked what it meant. Not wanting to upset her, he told her it was just a UK slang word for spots, or zits. Of course, years later, the same woman walked into a chemists, pointed to her face and asked if he'd got anything to get rid of these bollocks!

Now if she had only walked in and asked "For some creme to put on my bollocks."
