And at risk of repeating myself...

Has anyone had any luck today getting through to the DVLA for the 55 plate release? Been engaged for me all bloody day.

Not allowed because of the 'I' before the numbers.

Noticed them promoting the new '55 plates on the DVLA site today - had a quick browse. How about SS55 SHH for £499. Ideal for a TVR I would have thought.

I'd hoped that GU55 ETT would be available, but it looks like it's up for auction.


Shame.

Bloody hell.

The plate I was after had gone by the time I actually got through. Now, considering it was a regular plate it was available for £995. But I've just found it on a plate traders website for guess how much? Go on.... guess....


















10 grand!

I'm off to look for another gravy train. Toot toot!

Can SL55 AMG exist ? (ie is there a region that gives an SL prefix)
If so, I wonder what that will go for ?

Not that I am one, you understand, but I just saw the potential to turn a few quid.

Its up for future auction. I've got SL04AMG (despite having no chance of affording one).

I would imagine that there will be quite a bit of interest for SL55 AMG when it goes up for auction. I hate to think how much it will go for. Something like £50k I would imagine.
