gixer1 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 No and no! The whole private plate thing is not a difficult concept - the more scarce the plate and style of plate, the more money. Any old letter with any old two or three numbers followed by any old three letters is of no value. Actually your not actually right there - try buying G44RRY....few quid on that one! Same with A few like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 i had the reg no K4 AMA , it came on a suzuki vitara that i paid £600 for , i had the car for four years ish and in that time it only cost me £40 for a cv joint , i sold the reg no for £400/£500 and sold the car for £300 iirc , i wish my motoring was always this cheap. i tried to sell it originally through a company called reg transfers who basically tried to steal the reg no , it took dvla and a warning from the police to give it back to me after several months (its a long story) , i eventually sold it through a small cherished reg no company that were great.

Mungler Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I've got an interesting one for you. I have a client with a 3 letter No. 1 number plate "*** 1" but it's on a car that's beyond an mot. My understanding is that the car must have an MOT to get the plate off it. Any solutions / suggestions that don't involve ringing the car or breaking the law greatfully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapalomablanca Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I love some of the 'stars' number plates. I think paul daniels has got 'magic 1'. Whirlwind white has got a cracker 'cue boy'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I don't know if I agree Bearing in mind how many pimped up BMW M3's I see that have lowered suspension it could actually tap a wholly different market I hadn't thought of that to be fair, in my defence lowered M3's tend to be worth about the same.

My understanding is that the car must have an MOT to get the plate off it. Any solutions / suggestions that don't involve ringing the car or breaking the law greatfully received. One way or another it needs an MOT. If it hasn't been MOT'd for years there is a likelihood that it will flag up on the Ministry's database and they could come to the MOT station. Two people I know have done it successfully. I love some of the 'stars' number plates. I think paul daniels has got 'magic 1'. Whirlwind white has got a cracker 'cue boy'. Paul Daniels has got MAG1C Tarbuck has got COM1C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLuke Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I have personalised plates that are very apt to me ( first initial, middle initial, full surname - joy of short surnames!) and thus end up looking out for them a lot. There are a lot near me but two of the best are G 5POT K15S ME Edited January 5, 2013 by LondonLuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 I used to own JCB 42 - would be worth a bit now. Lad round the corner has B1MBO. His other half drives it, but presumably doesn't understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 So, what is the update then? Has the OP been wedged out his £400? Surely that plate has been snapped up by now? Maybe he got offered more for it and he is trying to keep it quiet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
