'3 HS' for £895 if anyone wants a short plate?

https://www.newreg.co.uk/search/info/3+HS?sel=buy&...

Seems weirdly cheap, can it only go on a certain kind of car?

Suspect it’s an error but just in case it’s not I’ve stuck it on my Amex

It was a Loss Leader to lure you into buying plates. Once they've got you escape is impossible. It becomes a compulsion; then an addiction. Soon you'll be stealing to feed your habit.

Still live on the site, seems odd?

Sold for £3000 + in April 1995.
Cheaper than most cars you could put it on. Plummeting in value daily.

Ordinarily I wouldn’t buy anything from Newreg but this was worth a punt. I’m expecting an email soon saying they made an error and ultimately it’s only an “invitation to treat” so don’t have to proceed with the sale

Off Topic: After a lot of searching I found a plate for my son and rang the dealer. You should have heard the commotion as they back peddled on the price. The gist of it was I should have realised the price was either a mistake or had been on the site for a long time and the price hadn't been updated. It turned out to be the latter; no one had checked prices and that was why it seemed cheap. Either way, judging by the dealer's reactions, it was my error and therefore my fault.

It's good but however good it always looks odd when it doesn't fit the UK pattern and you can see it a mile off.

Further explanation required. Are you talking about the spacing?

It’s not legal, the font is pre 2001 and it’s not spaced correctly, shame as it’s a good plate.

FWIW I saw MED 1A last Saturday evening parked behind Harrods, correctly spaced on a Rolls Royce Dawn.

Regularly see "T5" in Torbay, slapped on a 2013ish Tiguan.

Any ideas how much it's worth??? More than the car I'm guessing

Take a pic next time as that's a new spot.

Worth at least £200K

It's been some time since a single/ single went for less than £100k.

One I spotted may come between them!

Probably worth more than the car?

£5600 + fees & VAT in 2007. I'd say that looks like a bargain now.

Spotted TA 8 in my local car wash on Sunday, on an F Pace. Photo came out too dark to see it :-(
Lovely original plate from 1920.
