1 JG on a RR. An original issue as well. Easy £100K+ plate

My initials... found it on a website for sale a few years back at £132k. Only £131 and a bit thousand over budget!

[Rosedene]

I saw an unusual plate last week. No photo, but from memory it was 234 D 239 Can anyone tell me anything about it?

Bloody hell lol. I think with dateless plates the tester is much less likely to note that it's been mis-spaced to be honest.. If it's a current format plate then it's usually really obvious but something like the above might be a bit more ambiguous or not draw as much attention?

A rather liberal reading of the manual by the tester (see 8.2.2.1a)

Saw my best one for a while at the weekend, 1 REG on a Mclaren 650S, in Catford..

Sold for £12750 back in 1992, anyone know of its more recent sales history; or cars it has been registered to?

[Kiwi79]

Saw the plate AI or it could have been A1 on a Black Mini Cooper in Reading at the weekend. How much would a plate like that cost? Our director of AI would love it.

Yep A1 - one of those plates that must be worth far more than the car it's attached to.

I'm guessing 100k+ not sure where you find previous selling price from (the zoopla of plates?). I have spotted a plate I like but as it's newer than my car I wouldn't be able to put it on until new car time. Can you buy it and hold it without it being assigned to a vehicle?

You should have snapped a pic, that Mini was only recently MOT'd for the first time in 11 years. It has sub 1K miles

Easy £500K+ plate

there is a search on the DVLA website, only covers plates sold at auction by the DVLA...

yes, you can buy a plate and hold it on retention and then put it on your car when you have one new enough...

Quite liked seeing this today

[Markybubbb]

I haven't been on here for a while here's one that i found in Biscester recentley

[LARK F1 GTR]

Except it's actually, 180 O.

[Easternlight]

Not the best plate in the world but at least they haven't "butchered" it.
