personalised numberplate

[james280779]

Just registering my Porsche (911 carrera) upon arrival into Australia.
Asked would I like a personal plate, for a laugh I ask for CARRERA.

Yes sir, that's available would you like to purchase?

How much? I ask tentatively

$142 is the response. (about 90 quid)

so now proud owner - I dread to think how much that would have cost in the UK.

[Martian O]

Even though you have to pay that $$$ each year, that's great value!

[drgav2005]

Result!!! Let's see the pictures !!

[james280779]

errr not quite, its a one off cost here in the NT.

I have to wait up to 6 weeks for the plates to arrive but will post when they do.

Did you ship it from the UK?

[mollytherocker]

I hope you spelled it out over the phone?

MTR

[james280779]

yes shipped from UK about 6 weeks ago and no I went in person and wrote it down for them. I had to double check myself I spelt it correctly- as I wasnt expecting it I couldnt for the life of me remember which way around the RR was lol

I'd be interested in that too in case I end up going there and also are UK spec legal unmodified do you think?

Let me know what you got and the current value and I will work out the tax/ duty for you based on current shipping rates.
This can change when actually shipping as the transport costs fluctuate and these costs are included in the tax amounts.
Like I stated before in other threads. I used to do this for a living prior to joining the boys in blue.
I know where to go and best ways to ship, also all the cons they use.
If you dont know what your doing you'll pay well over the odds.



My fee????

After receipt of the car, a slab of speckled hen bought online from melbourne and shipped up to me costing you about $140!!! I reckon I will save you between 3-10k on the quote.

All UK cars are pretty much same spec as Oz so no major mods needed.
If you have aftermarket add ons that dont have eu spec stamps then they probably wont pass.

[james280779]

As promised, plates are now on the car

[Freakuk]

Nice!

[kentmotorcompany]

Awesome.

I wonder what else they might had?

[Greenslade]

I think I Wwould have had ASABOVE

[noumenon]

Was PORK not available?

[mollytherocker]

Is this the best Porsche plate ever?

MTR

[Trev450]

Quite possibly.
