Decent plate wanted - £1k to spend

[thenortherner]

After reading the 'good plates' thread, I'm after one for myself.

I'm not bothered about my name or initials, but just something not too distasteful or that will hide the age of the car ('04 plate). I'm not interested in Northern Irish plates.

I year back I spotted UR 02 SLO and quite liked it, and although it technically doesn't hide the age of the car, something like that would be good.

Please no recommendations from the chav plate thread!

Any links to something for sale that might fit the bill are appreciated.

Cheers,

Unfortunately most registrations are for sale at vastly inflated prices.

Try Peter @ Primo Registrations, he comes highly recommended.

Just have a play on the DVLA site - cheaper than the dealers.

[thenortherner]

If they're up for more than I've to spend I'm happy to stick a bid in and see what comes back.

As for the DVLA tip - I'm after a bit of inspiration - nothing comes to mind at the minute.

Have a browse through the next DVLA auction catalogue for inspiration

But surely UR 02 SLO is a classic chav plate?

[wackojacko]

I bought 1 of my appropriate username plates from the DVLA ' W888CKO' for £400 which was a touch of a bargain as I looked at W4CKO for 24k !

'ESK 905' is on my fathers Harley that was purchased through Regtransfers which were great.

Dealers are good if you don't know what you're looking for , although any you buy from DVLA will surely need 'Accidentaly' spacing wrong or something

Used to be on a TVR Tuscan, possibly a member on here.

Not that chav in my opinion, just a bit of fun. It doesn't need to be mis-spaced etc.

Thanks!

Do you know what you want plate wise - fun / dateless / name / vehicle related?

Just a bit of fun if possible. Maybe dateless. I don't want it name or vehicle related really.

Thanks,

According to the MyCarCheck app it is a white Z4M coupe, also recognise it from a few London TR's..........epic car

Re. the Z4M - it passed me on the M1 and it wasn't exactly hanging around. Sounded and looked fantastic.

Found a Good Dateless Plate ( not specific to many people or many cars)last week for my new car
From what I thought was a reputable Reg Company ( one of the main 3 that come up on google)
Yes I know most do not own the plates and are selling them for people
But when I asked the price they advised £650 + £80
No problem so I go back the next day and say Yes I will take it

They then come back today saying that the seller is wanting £1500 + £105 for it.

Wait a minute you said he wanted £650
Amazing how companies like this survive as Im sure they were expecting me to roll over and say Yes please here is another grand

£1,000, just to hide the age of a car,

[Turbodiesel1690]

Why have you ruled out Northern Irish plates?

[phib]

How about "R6CKT" on reg transfers for £1395 but i know the owner would take 1k direct

I like that GR 98 plate on the DVLA auction, posted earlier.

It's reserve is £2700, so about how much will it need bidding to to win?

[thenortherner]

It's not just to hide the age of the car, it's just something I'd like anyhow.

I'm not sure what R9CKT means.
