I have an old car with a one digit number. I had the numberplate priced by a well known 'plate swopper' a couple of years ago. I was told it was worth just over£3000. I have still got it because I know he runs his Bentley on the money he makes from selling these, but not mine thank you.

I did just this around 5 years ago, with a plate which "spells" my initials and surname, and it's an 11 plate - still on retention now as our car is a 2008 and won't be able to get an 11 plate or newer for a while yet!

Keep planning to buy this one! Never seem to have the money spare though

Local car I have seen many times over the last few years has the numberplate 'T8'.

The car is a green Alfa Romero 147.

Plate must be worth many times the value of the car.

My grandfather had a car, given to me, when it died, with the reg ADZ 488. Back in the late 90's I was offered by a local plate transfer company, £400 for it. The car was scrapped with it unfortunately, as the cost of getting a non mot'd/taxed car taken to a tax office for verification (for retention) was more than I could afford at the time. It would be the only number I would consider now.

In a few years, MGZ plates will be due out. Imagine, MGZ 7260, MGZ 7190 etc. or MGZ 5, MGZ 5180

. Remember they will be transferable to locally registered cars

. I believe you would then be able to buy the car and take it with registration to England.

A few years ago when I worked at Heathrow our yard was in an industrial estate on the opposite side of the road from 'spearmint rhino'
One of the erm 'ladies' who worked there had a Range Rover sport with the index plate ORG 45M

I kid you not

Why on earth would you
