Private Plate - Page 2

Jeff Turbo · 1st February 2022, 15:15

I've got private plate on my ZT cdti JP52 JEF. I've had the plate since 2003 and it's now been on 4 cars. It's my initials and name
Also have a private plate on my ZT260 MG04 JEF and bought that in 2015 just after I bought the car. Its the make of car, year and name

My Beemer has R66 BDB (my year of birth and initials)
I bought T66 BDB when I got the 75 last month (now on it) and I also picked up N66 BDB for my motor home at the same time. Will have to wait until I tax it in April before I transfer it over.
Lastly, in 2016 I bought BB66 BDB which has been on retention ever since until I can afford a late 2016 (or newer) car.
First three each cost 250 quid Inc first transfer fee. The 2016 one was 495 quid Inc.

It’s MG55ROV, but not sure if it’s overpriced?
Has anyone else on here got one?
If so what are your thoughts on £1200?

In short, you must have more money than sense. Everyone to their own vices.

I bought WHI6TON to go with my steam engine called WHISTON and so pretty close. Trouble is I cannot afford a 16 or newer plate car so my 05 ZT keeps soldiering on. Perhaps when I retire?

Bit of new videos about the class of loco and mine features.

Looks dear to me... when I was thrashing my M3 round the Cotswolds, I heard some posh guy complain about "NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- oyks in BMWs", so I got M3 OYK from the DVLA for (I think) £150. Only personal plate I've ever had.

Personally I wouldn't spend more, but at the end of the day, it's nobody's business but yours

Sadly missed

When I was buying my V8 in 2005 I was informed I could get MU55 ANG from the DVLA, but when I inquired it had gone. Then someone called me and said I could have it for £1k. No idea how they knew I was looking. I called the number and that fellow said the actual price was £3,500 so I passed. Recently I enquired about that number and was quoted £50k, so some numbers do very well indeed

I think if sellers know you're keen, they'll try it on. I managed to recently find MG53 ANG for £350 and settled for that on the 260 (original reg. was SN55 JPJ).
I swapped LX55 DXT on the ZTT 190 for MY05 ZTT ( many thanks to mininuts for that one ). Beware the rush of blood, and do negotiate

I wasn't prepared to pay more than the DVLA's £250 all in. I got R9 UER for that.
I can understand car-related plates being pricier than actual personalised numbers.
