We're putting together a feature at Time Out magazine on different types of spotters and I was wondering if anyone (London-based) would be interested in talking about their consecutive number plate spotting hobby? We would be interested to know why you're passionate about it, what got you into it and what it involves. If you're interested or can think of anyone else, then please get in touch on newsfreelancer@timeout.com or rebeccataylor@timeout.com Many thanks Sonia Zhuravlyova Time Out London 07905091186 Hello!

The 'CZ' relates to a Belfast issue. Irish plates are easy to spot on GB roads - they ALWAYS contain the letter 'Z' or 'I' such as GIL 1234, BIL 5544, JIL 6543 etc, or BAZ 34, CAZ 404, DAZ 808..

Often used over here as "dateless" plates, as they have no indication as to the age of the vehicle, and certainly stand out from the crowd. Yep, they’re Irish plates.

You can tell the year of them by the first letter of the number - ie start ACZ ****, BCZ ****, CCZ****, although possibly more than 1 will be used in a year! you can get a close estimate though, if your into that sort of think They are Northern Irish number plates.

These are popular as they don't have an age indicator (unlike prefix, siffix, or current style number plates), so they're great for disguising the age of your car. And they are cheap to buy.
