Reg Plate SLR 1T - What's it worth?

[Goochie]

A colleague has "SLR 1T" on her Renault Clio. Apparently her boyfriend bought it years ago when he was into photography.

My first thought was "sell it to someone with an SLR" - But what's it likely to be worth?

difficult one, the slr is first which increases value and total letters/digits is only 5 which is also more valuable, the t on the end I think is less value then if there were just numbers (like 11 for example), in my experience prices are over-inflated in general as people are never in any rush to sell with ever increasing no's of cars they assume value will go up,

value i reckon 5-10k, 5k is they actually wanted to sell and needed money quickly as limited market for it, only someone with an slr or with intials 'SLR' would buy it i suppose and DVLA are always releasing new regs which dilutes things and reduces prices as has the recession, i wonder if they bought the plate before the slr existed (I assume they must have!)

Also why do they have it on a clio?

I'd guess because as the OP said the boyfriend was into photography.

I reckon it's a reasonable plate. You've got SLR as in the car or camera. Then you've got 1T as in IT so it must have appeal to a number of people.

Thanks for the comments. The SLR was a camera reference and they've had the plate for many years. It's on a Clio because it would otherwise be on nothing at all.

yeh i understand - forgot about the slr-type camera, still lucky to have it i suppose, i reckon the plate is probably worth more than the car, great thing about reg plates is you can advertise them free and see what sort of interest develops.

Just google personalised reg plates, you can use newreg.co.uk, carreg.co.uk, ebay, etc etc, I think they just charge commission if a sale was agreed, but I have seen some of the plates on there been advertised for years,
