Robert Collin's plate on his 96 993 cab

New Hampshire - BNZ911(would have been BENZ911 if our state allowed 7 characters. Playing on my name and that MB is on the other side of Stuttgart, well, along the idea that someone could be confused and think that MB
made a 911... ok, maybe I'm the only one amused).
Chuck Benz

Paul Morgan's plate on his 97 993

Submitted by Mike, not sure what state he is in or what type of 911 he owns.

When people ask me what it means, I give a few possible answers:
1. Last of the "real" (air cooled) 911's. 2. Last 911 I'd be happy to keep indefinitely. and probably best, 3. Last 911 - enjoy what you have like it will be the last you ever have. Tomorrow is promised to no man. Cheers, Fred Ringness LAST 911

This plate is on Mike McGinty's 95 C2 993, forgot what country he was from.

It says "911RULE".

This is the plate on John Fahy 's 1987 944 S - Azurite Blue, Tan Leather Interior. Completely stock.

My '96 993 Carrera Coupe wearing it's registration P11RSR.
Unfortunately the car is not an RS let alone an RSR, but if you mirror the P it becomes a 9 and as some other vanity plate contributors have pointed out it's quite difficult to "engineer" Porsche registrations this side of the pond. Only Porsche "spotters" get it, but it's nice when someone does comment.

This plate is contributed by Jim Hsu taken in Los Angeles in 2003, on the 405 freeway.

This plate belongs to Howard Rubin it isn't a vanity plate. He was just lucky that MPH was the three letter prefix in his area, and on top of that, he was lucky enough to be at the license bureau when they were at #904. Though the ladies there aren't supposed to arrange to give people any particular number, they did for him that day. Since this picture was taken, he bought a 996 so of course the plate is on that car now.
