Isnt using a 1 to look like an i a cardinal sin round these parts? In know it’s very valuable but dateless plates look so much better imho
DVLA don't use '1"...? the correct font used for one is "l" so that plate is exactly correct and legally spaced... if I owned it I would be tempted to close the gap but as it is it's perfect and I'm sure very valuable and seems to be an original issue...!2 GKC said:

If I remember correctly CRA1G (poster here) captured the owner and held him hostage until he agreed to sign the plate over to him.

As I understand it, the 'older' no longer need plate goes back into the DVLA 'pool' .
Now, if that plate is requested and sold to another person, it will not longer available to transfer back to the original vehicle.
DVLA will then assign you with an 'age related' plate from the 'pool'.
From experience, the original plate is "reserved" for that vehicle. For e.g, when the vehicle is sold on, 99% of the time the owner will retain his private number. the original number then goes back on to the vehicle. Now, if that plate is requested and sold to another person, it will not longer available to transfer back to the original vehicle.
DVLA will then assign you with an 'age related' plate from the 'pool'.
From what I understand from this thread, the owner might sell on the original number, in which case the DVLA will issue an age related number for that vehicle, which will be non transferable.

Well, certainly this has happened to me three times, when I have sold the car carrying the private plate and either put the plate on retention or transferred to the new motor - on all three occasions DVLA have allocated the original plate. It would cost you £80 to test this - put your private plate back on retention and see what comes back. Unfortunately I doubt you'll get much for the BJ plate though...
When a plate is reissued or a none date related plate allocated it is always "No Transferable" on the V5.

OO10 OOO
I really like that and think it would be worth a lot. Of course, when on an actual plate and correctly spaced, because 0 and O look identical, it would appear as 0010 000 .I have one with one number and one letter and all the rest as O and 0 and it wasn't too expensive at all.

6060 FN - Merc C-Class estate, nice looking original issue.
70 GA - Jaguar XF, £2700 plus the bits in 2001.
Yes 6060 FN, another Canterbury reg no. (iirc, it was yourself posted JG 2) Reverse FN started in January 1962 from 501 and ran until August 1963, whence reverse JG started from 1. Suffix reg numbers commenced in January 1964.70 GA - Jaguar XF, £2700 plus the bits in 2001.

What’s the history of OO 116 ? Some one told me it’s an early 20’s number ?
OO 116 was issued in September 1961, by Essex County Council. OO was previously not allocated elsewhere and as Essex were fast running out of combinations they were allocated OO and WC. The latter series running from BWC to YWC. OO 1-999 was used for motorcycles, so the plate in question would have been allocated to a motorcycle.
