I know what you mean, Sam. My cousins name is Tom Beardsley and his car only has 6 Digits and it's T88 BBW or something and everyones always like your coz has the worst private no plate. lol.

 

my plate reads b8 o5t with a dot in the middle of the 8 to read boost,was going to sell it but its growing on me now.

 

i bought a saxo vts off a woman one and she left her plate on the car, was m15 bch
apparently her husband bought her it to say miss bitch

 

A guy here on the isle of wight has a small turbo escos tucked in a garage for the last 10-15 years with the plate A1 COS

 

Maybe he is hoping the artist formally known as Cat Stevens is on eBay looking for a plate

 

My plate is T8 MHV, spaced as T8M HV as my name is Tom Huntley-Vince... i love my plate..

 

ive got R4N SS, D 16V RS and my old dear has been given MRS SIDHU by my sister - MR5 5DHU. Old man has S10HU L - our surname is Sidhu .

my bro has XX 51D XX

 

I've still got B13 TRS............. Spaced it to say Big T RS

Will sell it one day...

 

B19 GDF that I got for my 19th birthday from my mum and dad, meant to be BIG GDF as I'm not the smallest bloke around. I also bought R5 GDF when I was going to be putting my name down for a Focus RS... that plan is well and truely shelved, so its destined for a Mazda 6 Diesel. ...girlfriends initials are RS though, so it still hold some sort of meaning, all be it in a pretty wanky way.


Cheers,
Grant

 

I want a private plate. I have seen M3 TBL for Ł900 which seems as bit of a billy bargain, and its inevitable ill get an m3 at some point. or theres 6 JJR for Ł15k which is my initials. But having 6 instead of 1 makes you seem a bit cheap does it not ?

Mum wants G1 LLY which was for sale for Ł250k, lol

 

One of our directors at work has got 9 ME. I live at no.9 and my Names Murray Eversham so I keep telling him he should give it to me. Then he told me it's worth more than the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet it's attached to

 

fella has 7 up near me now thats cool ,i want rs04 coz after me hols

 

when will all the thick twats realise plates are not worth any money unless the plate actually reads what they wished it did

 

Mine reads H8KCY as my nick name is Hocky, Got it for my 21st cost Ł250 which i thought was quite good. Its on my focus but i dont like the idea of changing plates on desirable cars as it makes it hard for previous owners to track them down.
I would never pay over Ł1000 for a plate though as that to me is like buying a bit of turf from wembley!!!

 

can you apply to dvla for any plate,even a normal looking year first 3 number 3 letter type? and if it's not in use will they sell it or auction it?

 

I wouldn't pay a penny for a personalised plate lol, unless I won the lottery and had silly amounts of money, then maybe, just maybe, I'd get something.

 

Had bentley with UK1 plate on it in work before and would be scary to think what thats worth.
I just had m12 duc on my bike which i bought for Ł200 so made a good investment.

 

No, only certain sequences were released for particular prefix letters - the DVLA website has a simple table that shows what number permutations are available for each.

If you want a special plate that isn't part of a sequence that is on sale they may, at their discretion, decide to auction it at some point in future and will let you know when it goes into the sale so you can bid on "your" number.

 

Some plates can be interesting, saw H2 EAU on a water company van one time.

X400 SVO was pretty discrete, meant something if you knew the car otherwise totally anonymous and worthless off the car.

Have seen an Aston with the plate V8 on it, nice car too but the plate might have been worth more than the car.

See V12 AML around a bit, that one gets put onto a lot of cars though.

One of my neighbours has D1, given that manages to be a name as well as a '1' plate I think we can expect the value to be something stupid. Always stuck onto normal cars though, was on a Peugeot convertible a while back, now on a Smart.

 

I have two private plates, they dont read as names but to me and other freinds of mine they are in relation to my cars.

L666 RSK for an RS2K known as Lucifer

L666 TWO for my track car known as Lucifer 2.

I think theyre cool as

 

I have A19 GRC. It was my father-in-laws (GRC being his initials) and when he passed away we said we would have it as something to remeber him by. Me and the wife both love having it on our car and its a constant reminder every time you walk towards the car what a great man he was.

 

i once saw a plate on a scooby R5 WOT (rs what)!!!

 

i have COSSY on mine
cheep here in OZ.

 

got a great plate for you rs focus owners.done a search on it and was on a hyundai,now the car has gone off the dvla data base?! must have been scrapped/written off.

R5 70CUS r570cus seeing as it probably wont ever come up for sale.

 

I have D3 FNU to go on my Project vehicle with some crazy amount of audio equipment...

Reads D3FN U

 

A similar plate to my STU one is being sold for 4 times what I paid for it!
