Barmiest price ever for a personal reg number...
Discussion
Good god they are crap. Who the hell would even consider these plates for anything more than a few hundred quid, and i talk about the v12fer there too.
Its just not special enough to warrent maybe more than a couple of grand imo.I think if it went for 2k in 99 i think they got lucky.
It proves as well that it depends on the day and the buyers.
I saw a plate i would have loved i can't remember exact figures without checking but i'll do my best. The plate was 1980 J .
I thought the plate looked special and its also my dob and initial . Sadly i didn't have the money but it went for just over 2k. Looking at past dvla auctions similar plates but not as good (i.e with 1980 and then 2 letters) went for more several years earlier.
Iirc regtransfers have it up for 6k
gutted about that, really liked the look of it.

Well it does say make an offer. I guess they wont take less than around 4k as i'm sure the plate was £2600 plus fess and vat etc.
Mind you i'm sure it will still be there in 5 years time so i've got time to save up
Don't ask, don't get. It's sitting there as an asset not making them money, it might be worth their while just getting rid (or as is likely to be the case, they have the name of the person selling it rather than title - but still, that doesn't mean they won't take a hit to get rid now)Mind you i'm sure it will still be there in 5 years time so i've got time to save up
What have you got to lose?

well each to their own. I quite like 'em and I've got 5; they're quite good ones and possibly worth a bit. I must therefore have a concave cock? Odd logic!
I like them too. I like yours as well. Hell I like you, and I don't even know you.Can I borrow 1,2 or 3 POW for the weekend?

Its true value (if its value can be described as being 'true') is simply what the highest bidder is willing to pay for it at any point in time. Trying to apply a broad inflation measure (or however you got to your £5k figure) on something that is a) unique b) highly subjective in terms of appeal and c) serves no practical function beyond that which any number plate does is, IMHO, unlikely to be significantly more accurate in predicting the price it would fetch today than, say, adding up this week's lottery numbers and multiplying by 100...
So what's your valuation?
