Sarnie Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 My plate: Cost £250 from the DVLA, about £400 transfering it to different cars and about £500 in fines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I don't look at plates these days so these go back a bit..."TEN 10" on a Ferrari in early 70's, "O606" on a Volvo, "TON1" on several posh cars, I think he was a hairdresser . My personal fave of all time was one I saw in Thornbury near Bristol. I saw this the same week that Neil Armstrong landed on the moon which made it a bit special, it was "APO110 G" ON A 3.5 Rover.

nixy Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 [ Name change by deedpole ? Dee for example or you could cut your long term losses and go for N11XY A (A being for *) You really do have some random ideas Hugh......... I already changed my name back to my maiden name by deedpoll so i didn't have to wait for the divorce - and I can get N11XY P so not sure what you mean by the second bit......

joey350 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 My parents got me a plate for my 21st a few years ago, it reads J30 HUN, my name is Joe Hunter, i think that was £250 at the time. If you look around there are some good ones for reasonable money. My mother also has a HUN plate on her celica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Id get one personal to yourself rather than the car if you are buying anything expensive. That way you can keep it for life and it doesnt look daft on whatever car you decide to have it on. Ever seen an X5 plate on a 3 series and chuckled?

MattyR Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Theres "350 TOY" on ebay at mo for 3k ! Nice plate..!! I look at them as an investment, I paid an arm and a leg for mine, but it's perfect for me and the Zed. I'm hoping to keep it for a lot of years to come, and see what it's worth when I eventually do come to sell it... although I've restricted myself to only ever buying V6 cars until I do..!!

Gunna retain the plate tho for future use. Have J3DS on the Z n several cars before so prefer name related for my cars and no restriction! Though i have been fined £60 now on two occassions by our delightfull Police for the spacing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 i knew a guy that spend around £26,000 just on a number plate, he had been waiting for years for it to come up for auction then when it did he went a bit silly with the bidding my number plate is A13 for august 13th, my birthday, then 3 letters for my initials got it from dvla years ago for £250, at the same time another company was trying to sell the same plate for £495+vat, so they'd buy from dvla then sell it on to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
