which cars are most likely to have a private plate?

[edwardf]

Specific makes/models? if you have facts/figs. from somewhere that would be interesting or just from observation ... what do you think?

[sebhaque]

Lots of M3s seem to have them, mine included

Pretty much anything north of a 3-series in Central London seems to have a private reg.

Also seems to be a lot of first-gen models of cars that have a dateless plate to obscure their age.

Black Range Rovers apparently ... There was a post bemoaning this a little while back.

[S1_RS]

BMW X5, BMW M3, FFRR, BMW Mini Convertible,

[Crusoe]

Bentley

[Alexlfc]

Jags

[pidsy]

was going to add black range rover.

but its already been mentioned

[lawdevice]

Definitely on X5's.

And more often than not the reg will include "X5" in it somewhere.

Damn, you got me!

Previous shape Lexus RX300 seems to be a prime candidate

[ejenner]

BMWs I'd say are prime for it. I've only had 2 cars with private plates. I didn't buy either plate because I think it's just a wee bit sad. But for the record, one was a BMW and the other was a Saab. The BMW had the cars model number on it and the Saab was a 'marriage' plate with the couple's initials. Guess they must have got divorced or else I wouldn't have got the plate with the car!

I wish I never looked at that bloody post. I can't help looking at the number plates of black RR Sports now (and so far they've all been personalised numbers).

Seen a few X5 plates on 320's recently, I'm not sure if they were trading up or down though

[davieboy]

i've got X5 then my initials on my rangie. seemed appropriate.

[edwardf]

interesting - no one mentioned mercs?

[greggy50]

Old Mercedes
Range Rover Sports that are 2yr's or older
Maybach/Phantom's very rarely seen one of these without a private plate when I do occasionally see one

[007 VXR]

See alot of Monaros with them

[attym3]

WHITE Range Rover Sports and Porshe Cayennes nearly always have them, the former belonging on the "chav plate" thread and the latter on the "good plate" thread.
