Just bought an 05 numberplate for our new TVR ....

[Big_M]

..........From the DVLA, in anticipation of taking delivery of our new Tuscan MkII convertible.

AT05CAN

Might need a strategically placed yellow bolt me thinks on the top of the 0 and maybe a tiny little space after the first A.

Is this a bit tacky? Would it achieve a good price on ebay?

I'm not a fan of personal plates but this one is about the best car related one that I have seen.

[Big_M]

Thanks Crankedup.

Started to have second thoughts after spending our money - but think it will look really good on the car.

Think ST05CAN and CT05CAN were also available for the same price.

Can you put a 3 year old number on a new car???

[Big_M]

Guess we will settle for a normal Tuscan MkII rather than wait three years.

Buggers at TVR will probably change the name anyway.

The all new TVR Istneitfixt. What do you mean they've been making them for years???

[RossMac]

how did you do this?

I thought I had registered with the DVLA for the 05 plates to catch some RO55 xxx ones (ideal RO55 MAC or R055 DOC or RO55 VIV .... latter is the missus)

[Big_M]

DVLA have released the 05 plates for sale but not the 55 ones yet - guess they will be another 6 months.

oops - misread the numbers. 05 not 55

I think as TVRpersonal plates go that is a very good one.
If you go off it it you can stick it on eBAY and judging by some of the optomistic dross on there you would be all set!!

1) This is not a three year old number and 2) Yes, you can put an older plate on a newer car.

[snorky]

no he meant it will BE 3 years old by time they get the car...

[RichB]

Oh sorry! I missed the joke.

Not TVR related but often see S 2ODO on a certain Honda 2 seater soft top on the commute to work
