But George, it's AML 1 DBS or anything else you want to believe it is to justify the 15k they might spend on it lol

nope, I've got two AML plates listed on fleabay and both are under £500 ! You do have to wonder, - surely most people realise the market has become more & more polarised, with really good plates commanding strong money and almost everything else worth very little...........

AM1 1 DBS - Makes AML 1 DBS or AMi 1 DBS

No it does not - Makes AM11 DBS.

All that indicates, is the car was new between March and August 2011.
To the 'must-have-new' brigade, we have had 12 and 62 since then, so very third division.

£15,000 - what a cheek.
DBS 13 is available for £5,800.

The only number plate game that I play, is to have a few pre 1963 marks, ie. no year identifier. No need then to play the 'must-have-new' game, because it is not so obvious how old the car might be.

The best one that I bought was first issued in 1926, consists of two letters followed by three numbers, and cost £10. A few years ago though.

If the seller can shift this registration mark for the asking price, then they deserve a medal.
What the buyer deserves, I will leave open for comments.

BE11 END would be a more apt plate for anyone who would consider spending £15k on that!

I used to drive past a house in Chelsea, just by Albert bridge. They always had 2 flash cars parked in their open garage. Usually a Bentley + vanquish. The plate on the first car was '2B', the plate on the second car was 'not 2 b'. I thought it was brilliant.

Seen a couple of people do things like that. Best was a guy in Manchester who parked his car M1 NGE to the right of his wife's MEL 5. It may be crude and not for me or you but you have to admit, it's very funny ! It was the same chap that wrote his white Ferrari spider (a 355 from memory) off in the Gumball rally

I saw that recently and was so impressed (even though I'd heard about it before) that I took a photo. Haven't got the photo with me right now, but I think it's now on a Range Rover and a Vanquish.

I can recall a friend years ago, back in my high school days, that was given some money when a member of his family died. He spent all of it on a very expensive number plate. Im not sure i should put the actual plate on here without his permission but I can tell you it was a single number (less than 3) and a single letter (lower in the alphabet than D). We used to laugh about it as it was put onto an old ford fiesta. As young 17 year old lads that liked to have nice cars, we couldnt understand why he had spent the money on a plate and not on a better car, or a house to invite the girls back to!
We all realise now that he was a rather sensible chap by doing this. He still has the plate, he is still a sensible chap, and the plate has done nothing but increase in value since the day he got it.

I like it that a lot!...

On the two daily drivers we have plates that are almost the same barring 1 number. One has 6 and the other has 9. Its surprising how many people it confuses, they dont instantly see the difference?
One of my work offices has an ANPR barrier and if we drive up without a couple of cars seperating us, it will not let us in!
