What's the thread rules for here then vs I'm guessing the crap plates thread? I've got some more I can post...
Not sure if anyone has answered this, and there isn't full consensus, but I think we can all agree:-- No dodgy fonts
- No mis-spacing (although some liberal types are OK with a small bit of this....)
- Older/ shorter plates definitely preffered to new-style, and originals to DVLA sale jobs - but again, views differ
- I think a general rule of thumb would be if a plate is trying to be what it is not, it's over to t'other thread!
Anyone else?

This one is well know in Triumph Circles, the car has a bit of a story behind it too
Top Spot, Jonsey! Still showing as on this car. Not sure how many people would want the plate; a 1 x 3 would normally make the car worth restoring just to transfer, but in this case I'm not too sure...M3DGE said:

I guess an identity swap would be quite easy!
I am not recommending illegal acts.

Yes. And the plate needs to be transferable as some aren't. A famous case is that of '1 AN' which resides on a Morris Minor and always will.
OK.For those that can be transferred, what if you get a sh!tter with a great plate MOT'd by a friendly tester who will accept you will scrap the donor once the plate is yours?
How can certain plates not be transferable?

On a separate note, I see D1SCO around my way on a new shape Range Rover.
