The Ultimate GT3 Number plate?

It was merely an example. Another may be to 'hide' the newness/value of a car from clients etc (had this exact experience in 1999 - from an inside contact, we were excluded because we arrived in a new Boxster ffs!). I don't like shuffled about attempts to 'spell' something, but I don't blow a fuse over some inoffensive plate that doesn't tell me if the car in front is newer or older than mine.
I would wager there was more to it than that...the vanity plate simply facilitated their decision

Depends whether the item is bought merely to impress others or to appreciate the qualities of the item itself.
Porsche along with various other manufacturers unfortunately went through the 'material' possessions crisis in the 90s when every banker and his dog owned a 911 despite having no interest or understanding in what the cars were about other than another asset class in which to park money.

Are you the one who has bought a GT3, GT4 and a Spyder, is hardly driving them but likes talking lots about their values? Patent said:

Unlike many, I use all my cars as intended .......as does my g/f btw....

As you know, only talked values on the relevant 991 GT3 and RS prices thread to provide a balanced argument and in response to 'others' attempting (in vain...of course!) to talk down the market for their own selfish ends....

As you have alluded to.....I'm not sure PH dictates the market...Unlike many, I use all my cars as intended .......as does my g/f btw....
Looking forward to your comparison of all 3 cars.....have you taken delivery of them all?

Another scenario and perhaps far more superficial is to keep the vehicles original number for 6 months and when after that period the owner gets hangups about driving an 'old' vehicle without the 'new plate' and the neighbours might feel it is lowering the tone of the neighbourhood a tad...... on goes the private plate......so 'certain' people are fooled into thinking the car is still new....A few years back we had a distant neighbour who did exactly this. Sad really. The pressures and twitching net curtains of suburbia eh....:
