Sorry, but its naff and just screams 'knob'.

But if it floats your boat, then who am I to argue.

It's not the worst I've seen, if you're into that sort of thing (I'm not), but £15000!

There's a Ferrari 360 on the Bay at the minute with the reg "poser". Well actually it's not even poser it's P60 SER.

It's just cringe-worthy. It's so bad infact that because I know that's the sort of owner it's had, I'm put off the whole car.

Someone has taken a bit of a hit on that as they paid 22k for it in 1999

P60 SER is so bad, it makes me think it might be an MR2! 360 and your 3 initials is OK I suppose, but these 'words' are awful.

Some private number plates are very tasteful, but many are crass and cringeworthy.

I'd say this one is borderline. Will look better with the correct, legal font and spacing on an original period 911 (1970?).

Who are you? You're Molly the Rocker, a man of good taste, so you should argue and continue to argue that plates like this are for losers. And hopefully, one day, no-one will buy them and the bottom-feeding parasite scammers who sell tat like this will be put out of business.

confused I hardly think its the people who sell them that are at fault? There would be no-one selling them if there weren't anyone buying them would there?

I've had a few run-ins with number plate companies; chavs, gangsters, conmen, and general bad-eggs.

Can anyone explain why National Numbers think 1P is worth £495,000? ! (Not to mention HM1 at £900,000!!)

Single/Single plates have started to fetch upwards of half a mill now. If people are prepared to pay it, then they are worth it.

HM1 seems expensive at that price, especially since it means very little to most people.

I like cool plates, but not silly made up words from numers and false
screw caps lol.

GT3 as an example is a nice plate, but it's on a range rover.

plates are ugly and big on a car so having reduced plate made with only a few letters on looks good on any car imo and also hides it's age.
but you can get a nice plate for £400 with just 5 letters on it. 15k is a bit daft.
