Just be aware that no matter how much you spend on a registration number, be it £60, £600, £60,000, £600,000 or whatever, you don't actually own the number (all UK registration numbers are owned by the Secretary Of State: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploa... ), you have simply paid for the right to use the registration number.

Having a registration plate on a car that is illegally spaced (such as nicklambo's LUl lFER which should read: LUll FER), can lead to the owner being prosecuted [not a big deal as it's only a fine], and, for the registration number to be confiscated, with no compensation to the person using the registration number.

Also be aware, that the Secretary Of State can also withdraw any registration number from use at any time, without having to give a reason, and again, without having to pay any compensation to the person using the registration number.
