VIP Car numbers

CaptainKG · 20th June 2010, 00:13

787 would indeed be a special number for a pilot (Boeing 787 Dreamliner). Quite a few of my pilot friends have numbers of the aircraft they fly, most common being 0320 (A320), 0737 (Boeing 737), 0747 (Boeing 747). You could definitely ask for a premium from a pilot if you ever sell your car to him/her

This brought my curiosity back. How come some present day cars have numbers like these? Nick can you share this photograph at the registration number thread too (I forgot the exact link.)
