Private Reg Plates.

It is also worth considering the implications if your car is written. Once your insurance claim is settled the vehicle and therefore its registration mark become the property of the insurance company. Therfore you need to arrange transfer or retention of your number plate before settlement. It is worth advising your insurance company at the outset you have a personalised plate.

Wouldn't the insurance company be aware because the registration plate is on the certificate!?

But in these days of non-disclosure you have to tell them that it's a cherished plate to get it covered, especially as so many look like standard plates

Maybe if you have A1 or something but you may have a plate such as BE57 EVR and as demonstrared on this forum not everybody recognised it as a plate somebody would be prepared to pay money for

Back to the original point, valeter, how about EVO as the last three letters?

Just been advised by the Dealer that the last 3 on Plate will be WPW.

The other half has already come up with Winnie Pooh's Wheels!!!

I can think of no other more urgent reason to get a Private Plate!

I had a look for such plates when I bought my car, nothing much. Keep in mind that the Mitsubishi EVO has been around for a while which means the good numbers have been snaffled. Something like A1 EVO would have been good. The new style registration plates don't make great combinations IMHO.

The new style plates can be good...i.e. if the car isn't quick enough for you, you could have TO05 LOW

It works out well for me, because my company name is 7 letters with the 3rd and 4th being L and I

I did think EVO when I first started looking but I too initially thought of Mitsubishi EVOlution! My car came with ** 12 VOC which has had a few comments. I was given a list of plates & this in my oppinion was the only relevant one there.
I think if I get a plate it will be one with my initials on & they are APS but I don't want to spend silly money!
