RE: Private Reg Plates.

I havn't bought one yet but i think I may try & get one with my initials on. I decided this over the weekend that this would be a good idea to buy it from my inherritance money. My mum & step father knew how much I loved my cars over the years & I thought that if I got a plate then everytime I looked at it I would think of where it came from!

Embarrassed Naff as can be. 11% of cars on UK roads have these so called unique plates. Nothing cooler than seeing a class / expensive motor sporting a bog standard plate. I always feel admiration for the classy owner.

RE: Private Reg Plates.

I would hope that every car on UK roads has a unique plate.
With regard to so called "cherished" or "personalised" plates does it really matter? If you like/ want one and can afford it then why shouldn't you buy one. Sales of them after all contribute a considerable amount of money to the UK Treasury and it must be the only "tax" that you can choose whether or not you want to pay it.

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Private Reg Plates.

I have a private plate, which is all the initials of my name, the 77 means nothing, couldn't get my birthday month or year. The plate was bought for me for my 18th birthday by my parents and it is something I will have long after they have departed.

RE: Private Reg Plates.

I have a single letter, single digit plate on retention - it's too expensive to insure it for day to day use, I didn't buy it I inherited it and it has been in our family for many many years. I have another one on retention that is in the current style and have been offered £10,000 for it (stupidly I didn't sell it there and then to the person prepared to pay that much)

RE: Private Reg Plates.

I have a personal plate that worked superbly on my caterham but is not so good on a diesel chugger (though most people don't get it). I think some plates are a bit naff - especially ones that clearly don't quite say what the owner is hoping for. But if the owner gets pleasure from it, then why not?
