My mate's got B166LES on a Pajero, which looks far more like BIGGLES in the flesh than it does in print.

Once came up behind B10PSY, which had just pulled out of Roehampton Hospital.

I've applied to DVLA to get a plate I'm after put through auction.
My initials are FJK, and I'd like FJK 1T.

I often see what I would imagine as expensive plates on rubbish cars. Don't buy the plate and get a better car.

P114one on a crusty old fiesta locally. It reads phone as you look at it, you mentally miss out the 4.
Granted Rich, they can be pricey. How about putting one for yourself on your next birthday list and see what arrives. My brother got his from his missus at only£299.00

i have had three in my lifetime. I had an old Austin 10 (1936) that came with an Elgin registration plate. SO xxxx can't recall numbers but something like 7538. I sold the car and plate seperately when I got rid.

My personalised ones were
Volvo 760 GLE with ROY 323 W ( surname) which I paid £250 for ....alas didn't get custody of it in divorce...long story , long time ago thankfully.

And

A BMW 320i with SPY 922R when I was self employed. Plate passed to my mother when she bought car from me. Car and plate went to place in car heaven!


Now I am bit older I don't think I would bother with another one. Kind of proud of the cars original W plate!

My ZT has always been Maggie so MAG 61E would sit well.
I had a Series 2 XJ6 with MRP 5V on it, I got it to read MR PSV and eventually sold the plate to a bus operator.

Never been a huge fan of private plates, but my friend has a belter, her dad bought it for her on her 18th birthday I'm sure it was around 6k then (17 years ago)

It's L4URA

that one probably is an investment, that some of the companies try to claim they are.

my old boss used to spend ages trying to track certain ones down. his initials are I A. first one he got was IIA 3 then he sought and got IIA 1 but the icing on the cake is the last one he bought, which I was told cost close to 6 figures, 1IA. I am not a fan of them, each to their own.

I would love to have the plate of the car i learned to drive in. but since it has been scrapped, it is a no no, sentimental reasons too. ADZ488.

I wouldn't change the plate on mine though. Axx7356. my father's old metro was Axx7356, it was fate that I bought my zt

We've had MJ02 JYJ since 2002 It's both our initials and didn't cost that much back then. It's now on the XF

I've also got V8 JYJ currently on my V6 !! Yeah I know and I could have had V6 as well at the time.
When we purchased our Jag XF we inherited another plate M70 JKR as the previous owner was moving abroad and didn't want it. I've given it to my son for his Fireblade
By the way Jag 75 is owned by a local businessman, I think it's now on his Jag F type
