What private plates do you have?
Discussion
I’ve got a few, one I got for my 21st which looks like my surname, one i bought on eBay for £90 including fees, another one i bought for my daughter, and another that seemed a bargain.
However, i do have a question and i thought this thread might be a good place to ask as I’m sure those of you who have a few may have had this situation...
I want to swap one of my plates for another, can this be done in 2 steps at the same time without having to put one on retention, put the original plate back on, wait for the V5 then put the other plate which is currently on retention back on.
Problem is I don’t have the original plate, so I’d have to go and get the old original plates made up for a matter of days.
Do you get an email straight away with enough information to put the new one on without having the faff of reverting to the original plate for a short term? I’m waffling, hope this makes sense.

1. Using retention certificate of the plate you want to swap on to the car, get a set of new plates made up.
2. Apply BY POST to the DVLA to take the existing registration off and have it on a certificate. This will generate a retention certificate for the old reg and a new V5c, likely with the original reg the car had from new.
3. When the new V5c turns up in the post, use the DVLA online tool to immediately assign your other reg, using the new V5c document reference number that you've been waiting for.
4. Once it's confirmed via DVLA website, put the new plates on and inform insurance.

I can’t say I agree with the vanity statement. The plates I have have all been bought for personal reasons. I bought this in Dec 2010 (posted back then too) and gifted it to my middle son Elias. He was 18 in the Summer now working full time and earning a great wage for his age (he moans he pays just under £200 tax and NI... a week). I’m hoping he invests in his first car next year and puts this on it. It’ll be his for life from his Mum.
Love that - that's what a personal plate is all about! Ritchie335is said:
That’s perfect, he’s a lucky lad to have that.
Thank you. I don’t think he realises how lucky haha. May be in twenty years. But we don’t as kids until it’s too late .
I lost my Dad a few months back. He bought his name backward on a plate twenty years ago. I drive his car now quite frequently. Have had a few odd looks from some old folk and it didn’t click that it was probably because of the plate/car. I’m proud to drive his car and it makes me feel close to him having that plate. A gift that keeps on giving and that’s the personal side that’s priceless.
As a single Mum i’m of course proud of my lads. Elias is the only one with a plate currently. Although my eldest will probably inherit my Dad’s. I’ve not bought Elias anything for Christmas this year yet, because he wants that car... kind of made a rod for my own back didn’t I
My parents bought me this for my 21st (I'm 37 now) and I've had it on my Megane 225 since I got it new in 2006. My dad passed away in the August of 2005 so it's sentimental -
I bought this for my Twingo 133 Gordini. Wouldn't normally buy a plate specific to the car but it worked really well and was only £250!
Continued the first theme with this plate for my CLS. Eldest daughters name is Roxie.

Have a TVR Griffith 500HC (5 Litre High lift Cam), reg I got for £250 as I recall is my first initial, then 50 OHC., so M50 OHC
I'd really like R1 GGA which is on a Toyota somewhere I believe.
HC is High Compression I think I'd really like R1 GGA which is on a Toyota somewhere I believe.
All Griff 500's were HC, although, like mine due to mileage, its had a cam change, so its changed, but the point still stands when they were built, pocketed pistons and lumpy cam.

No, I can state,, in full confidence, its High Cam.

Every day’s a school day. I shalln’t deviate further from the topic but when my dad bought his 500 HC new back in 1995 from Kerridges we were told High Compression.All Griff 500's were HC, although, like mine due to mileage, its had a cam change, so its changed, but the point still stands when they were built, pocketed pistons and lumpy cam.
