A dealer recently told me that, because so many cars are now ubiquitous EVs - smart and efficient but clinically similar - owners are buying/investing in distinctive cherished plates to give themselves a bit more individual identity.

Sounds like total bullst

I've never known anyone to spout more made up ste than people in and around the motor trade. From tyre fitters to used car salesman to mechanics it's a torrent of ill informed obvious nonsense.

Not a huge gulf between the values (sorry ) but even JOE 679 has to be worth more than the car...?

About the last time a W210 was worth £2,700 too.

Got to be worth a couple of quid.

owned by Douglas Park, or it was. This picture taken a few years back and similar marque suggests probably still is.

They do still own it, along with G 8 and P 7.

That's just the 1x1's, they own several other great plates also

Not insanely valuable but still a £10,000 number plate on a £200 car.

I thought this was a good one…..


Perhaps it would be more at home here….

Big fans apparently!

Plate is on a Amorok now and still a fraction of the cost of the plate

Can’t imagine the value of that plate had the ‘J’ been an ‘N’ ...!

Aside from the identity crisis, a nice motor!

Mine will even qualify for this thread now as it's on my BMW 2 Series....

Resurrecting this old thread

Today I saw (was driving no pics) 3 KSL on the most unloved of Ford Escorts, the Mk5. Not a Cosworth but a 1400. I guess about £1500 at the most maybe

I guess it may have been on there from new
