Unfortunately not much detail here about the vehicles.
And it doesn't even say how many plates he had.
But presumably this has cost him a bob or two, and I wonder what's happened to the revoked plates?
Blackpool taxi driver loses appeal to keep licences due to state of vehicles

Steven Lewis, had the licences revoked between February and April last year, but has been trying to appeal the decision ever since.
A Blackpool taxi driver, who 'persistently failed' to keep his vehicles in a good condition, has lost his appeal to keep his licences.
Steven Lewis, of Plymouth Road in Blackpool, had his Hackney carriage licences revoked by Blackpool Council's public protection committee between February and April 2019.
The 64-year-old appealed the decision at the magistrates' court but on August 21 later that year, his appeal was formally dismissed.
Mr Lewis, not satisfied with the decision, then appealed to the crown court, saying that the committee and the magistrates were wrong and asking the crown court to give him a lesser sanction.
However, on Friday last week (February 21) the Court dismissed his appeal, confirming that the licensing committee and later Magistrates’ decisions were correct.
The Court informed Mr Lewis that they were not satisfied he would maintain his vehicles to the correct standard and citied his persistent failure to meet the standards set out in law and in the council’s policy.
Cllr Adrian Hutton, chairman of both the licensing committee and public protection sub-committee, said: “We are committed to ensuring that vehicle licence holders are held to the very highest standards.
“The safety and wellbeing of the travelling public is not something we take lightly – we were pleased to see our initial decision was vindicated in this instance.”
