norfolk dumpling Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 New plates usually necessary as different cars have different drilling/fitting/shapes. Very rarely have we been able to use same plate. Got hell of a collection of the original ie non-private plates in the shed. Think I ought to stick them on the next bonfire.

Fuji Shooter Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I just got an MIG 0000 plate off eBay for £19. I had installed an interior from a limited edition 2004 into a 2002 chassis so had to cover up the age. Happy days at that price and I can just leave it on the car when its moved on.

Brooksy789 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 My plate was bought for me over 10 years ago by my parents before I could even drive as plate back then where cheaper. It was £500 then and I have recently had it valued at £1500 I'd never get rid of it because its me and who I am and everyone who knows me knows my private plate!

Scully Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 In about 1972 my Dad bought a Hillman Minx with the reg' PRM 1. He didn't realise it at the time but it was worth more than the car. He eventually sold the plate to a bloke with an Austin of some kind (don't know how much for) with the reg' PRM 1G if I recall. I'm not really interested in private plates but I sometimes wonder how much it would be worth now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chandler Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I sold my Fathers plates recently, that he got free from the DVLA in 1950 something, just his initials B!% 1. By resale and auction sites I was advised to put a reserve of £25,000 on them, so I did. After 9 months, the nearest offer we had was for £10,000. Not bad, but certainly nowhere near the expected, but £10,000 is still exactly that! As said somewhere already, the value in cherished plates, like so much else, is in the eye of the beholder!

wingnut Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I saw one on a Jaguar in a dealers in Derby recently FE 11 ATO Nearly wet myself when I saw it, took a pic of it, will try and post it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriBsa Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I saw BEG 4 1T on a Ferrari, which I think was arrogance gone too far. I'd be careful where I parked it with that on a car. In North London in about 1986 I saw both KKK 1 and 1 KKK on different occasions within a few months of each other. Strangely enough both cars were white.

keg Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 GOT 1 OK was on a Ferrari in my village back in the late 80s. Didn't stay on long. He was a property developer and everything he owned was funded by the bank. He lost it all shortly after.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
