because with your plate you would need a screw or somesuch and it would look terrible.
at 45k the other plate will go. i searched for it on the dvla site a few years ago and it was not there
edited to add i was offered jat 80y for 500 a few years ago and did not buy it smile

Can somebody explain the significance of this for me? For 45k I would be expecting something a lot cooler than an off the shelf 51 plate.

I also thing this plate is only worth something to your own community to us
it has no meaning at all. If you get my drift.

'Desi' is a term used refer favourably to a homeland loving/originating South East Asian. 'Jat' is a Sikh/Punjabi tribe/group of people.

Song called 'Desi Girl' for a bit of fun

Have you deigned to watch the video, milord? Just click on the arrow and follow the instructions. It will help if you have a decent set of speakers.

Does this mean that Vauxhall VXR are going for the left wing subcontinental market? Did they realise this was going to happen when they bought the number? This opens a whole new world. After watching that I'm feeling pretty Desi myself, though I guess I don't qualify.

Yes. This is obviously a lot bigger than I realised - not easy these days to gwet a DE51 plate on the DVLA website. All the same 48k seems a bit OTT.

Didn't MR51 NGH (as in 'Mr Singh') become the UK's most expensive reg plate when it was sold? I just don't understand how they can go for so much money, I like personalised regs (I have one myself) but if I had the choice of a a really expensive plate or another Lambo I'd take the other car every single time without fail

It's a pride thing. (No pun intended, read on...)

I won't go in to the details, but male Sikhs all have the middle name Singh, which means Lion. Baptised Sikhs (and some non-baptised ones too) drop there family name, and use Singh as their surname.
