Real Good Number Plates : Vol 4

[richard300]

getting a private plate here in South Australia is so much easier and cheaper than in the UK.... There are Several options.



I am about to order a 'personalised' plate - It takes 5 mins online and costs $180 (including the pressed metal plates:

This is mine:



I was VERY tempted to keep it real and go for this:

I think this was just originally a regular issue so I'm thinking someone in the past lucked out with this one.

Am i wright in saying that the number can only be used by the person its issued too? And can not be sold to someone else?

[richard300]

I think it can be sold on with the car - i say this this because i have just been to look at a Grand Cherokee V8. It belongs to a chap that owns a local vineyard and the registration is VINO 42 (apparently supposed to mean Vino for 2) Anyway the plate will come with the car if i buy it.... some of the plates, like the custom ones you actually have to pat a $200 a year subscription fee....

It would be ace if the UK launched the same system, but it would destroy the Cherished plate business overnight if they did.

I think DVLA already have done it.! You can request any number not issued to go into Auction,and at least once purchased you can Transfer/Buy/Sell as you like hence the investment potential.!

Blue Honda NSX with NSX 1 on the plate in Clapham today. Delicious.

Also liked this -not a plate but nice all the same.

Lady B pointed this one out as I didn't even see it at first glance.

N1 AHM

Doesn't appear on the auction list so if the owner bought this at N prefix release for the standard £799 back then they got a fking bargain!!

Seen it before but always good to see it again.

Wonder how many FPN's the owner got before legally displaying it

N1 AMH would be better.

When I lived in Skipton the Fattorini family used to have a series of "FAT" 'plates with "FAT 1" being on a Renault 5 IIRC - I haven't seen any of them for years now and FAT 1 isn't coming up as active on AskMID, I presume it's on retention somewhere which seems an awful waste.

Didn't have my phone on me at the time, but 11 NSX drove past me yesterday. Wasn't on a Honda though!

I thought that when they launched the then-new "prefix" plates, they reserved the numbers 1-20, all tens up to 90, all hundreds, and all double-digit and triple-digit, for personalised sale. But my old Audi starts C444, so I wonder whether that would make it a special order or whether I've mis-remembered.

Kind of, but the DVLA plates still have to fall within the rigid UK plate formats, where countries like the US and (it seems) Australia just allow you to have anything you want.

If you could have anything it would kill off the c12appy plates thread as well.

I've tried to check the vast number of previous posts here but didn't see it, so have we had this Range Rover?



Not sure about the Ford, perhaps it needs to be in the other thread.
