Nissan Juke i think it was,

JU11E X D (JU11 EXD)

Corsa

J4DE X (may have been a little different cant quite remember but sure it was this)

It is interesting to see the sheer extent of the illegal plates that are being run on the road. Clearly the individuals have no regard for the law and presumably are getting away with this. I suspect the authorities will have a purge. A few personalised plates being confiscated would stop this nonsense. Time will tell.

there does seem to be some (with out naming) with just a plain private plate hatred which is fine but why keep gong on And one about it page after page..... I don't have any interests in Football or Vegetarianism but if I see a forum on such I don't bombard it with my negative views and criticism of it I leave it to them and it's that that spoils forums like this and indeed the other "real good" thread......

Go on do some naming...! but I know what you mean I can't see why some bother posting sometimes with Nothing more than their repetitive and boring comments on why THEY don't like private plates etc........!

I have no objection to private plates at all. I have owned and still own several. Mt concern is the illegality of so many plates to the point where many are very difficult to read. Which must surely be the prime reason for plates being on the car? To identify the car. A legal requirement carefully ensconced in the law of the UK. Its not optional.

I didn't know which thread to put this in. I can't, for the life of me, work out why the bidding on the plate XKE 42C in the current DVLA auction is up to£6430.

Any ideas?

Perhaps it is the perfect plate for someone and that someone is ensuring they don't miss out?

I don't object either to them either. I have an inherited registration that's been in the family since the 1930s. Its completely legal and does absolutely nothing apart from indicating where and when the car it was originally allocated to was first registered as well as identifying the car it's displayed on now. The actual facts are that is what registrations do and that is all registrations do.

The pretentious vanity of substituting letters for numbers or vice versa in a desperate and often illiterate attempt at spelling something is not to my taste at all but legality as opposed to illegality is my Good Plate/Crap Plate line in the sand as that's a demonstrable fact which only an terminal idiot would choose to argue over.

Nobody is forced to agree with that view but it's interesting to see that by repeating it from time to time it's slowly becoming established as a common theme in both threads.

I to have a legal plate but don't really care about what others do with theirs.I hope you have the same moral fortitude about the speed you drive at!

It's not the actual illegality of plates that's the real problem 'tho - the real problem is the underlying attitude of the illegal plate owner that places his or her ego needs at a higher priority than the morality of obeying the law. Effectively they say fk whatever the legal requirements says about registration formats I'll just do whatever I want to satisfy my own vanity.

Blatent illegality for nothing more than personal vanity - that is troubling indeed.

I agree entirely. If an individual has no regard for the law that does tend to pervade their thinking throughout their activities. Running illegal plates id a criminal matter. Running no plates on the front or rear is a criminal matter. Running plates so altered as to be illegible is a criminal matter. It obviously suite some drivers to ignore the law. Not least in using illegal plates. Not clever.

And you know what? If I was well off enough to be able to buy my favourite car (a 1965 E-Type 4.2 Series 1), I would snap up that plate for that price. It's the right age for the car and it's a "normal" registration that would look better on the car than a non-age related plate.

In total agreement with your car choice

Maybe not a good idea for you to pop in the badly modified thread. I've shot one member for this comment Quote: " Fair play to the guy, tbh I've never been a massive fan of the looks of the e type, I'm not saying its ugly, but I don't think its a pretty car either".
