Rude plate comes up for sale

DVLA

Motorists with a rather cheeky sense of humour will be very pleased to hear the UK's most notorious number plate is up for sale.

"PEN 15" has gone down into the history books as the rudest number plate issued by the DVLA, and for years has not been for sale.

It has been owned by the personalised number plate company Regtransfers.co.uk and the plate has been used in a number of publicity stunts. Famously, in 2005, the Sun newspaper refused to use one of Regtransfers.co.uk's adverts as it included a picture of a car with "PEN 15" on it.
