Private number plate

[otherclive]

And yet in those days, people of influence were usually able to get" XXX 1" and the Fire Brigade usually got "XXX 999" when each new XXX allocation was started.

I couldn’t possibly comment on such occurrences 😂

Georgina bought me this one about 5 years ago.
1963 I believe.

This is the first number plate I ever bought. It's an Irish plate from the BXI series. I hadn't long bought my first Citroen - a BX-TZDTurbo, so the number plate fitted well. In those days no one bothered about spacing. The bloke adorning the bonnet is a 30-year younger edition of myself, having a coffee break south of Dijon. The last time I checked, the vehicle still exists, although I sold it in 1998.

I had a BX 16 petrol estate which followed a rubbish Volvo 245 estate. The difference in reliability and running costs was chalk and cheese. The BX whilst a bit rattley was a brilliant car

When the DVLA released the "G" suffix plates for sale (this was in the late 90's when the surplus G suffixes were put up for sale) I looked at buying "G4RYB" but as I had a company car at the time it would have just sat in the drawer on a retention certificate, the cost then was £3,500.

The whole series G - single digit - three letters were expensive, partly because they were the same format as ham radio callsigns and DVLA thought hams would want their callsign on their number plate.

I might have gone for it but my callsign is G0TLG and you can't have number plates with a single digit zero. I'm also entitled to use the callsign G7LSH but nobody in the ham radio world knows me by that, and it's no longer available anyway

My parents bought me a personal plate for my 21st, my 3 initials and 3 numbers. Cost them less than £1000 34 years ago.
Valued at around £14000 now. No way would I pay that for a reg plate! (and doubt it would sell for that much)

I had a friend that had a. " Cherished " number plate, had it on several of his cars over the years, then transferred it to his motor bike. He then wanted it changed to his next car, DVLA , Computer says NO , apparently at that time it was not allowed.

If you're fortunate enough to buy a non-public number plate, you are certainly required to make sure that the ideal plate is registered to the corresponding car. For instance, if you have a non-public quantity plate to your automobile and you want to apply new 4D 5mm Number Plates for that automobile, you must replace the registration details with the DVLA to mirror the brand new plate.

As in your caravan, if it has an exclusive plate, that plate have to remain registered to the caravan. The variety plate at the caravan have to in shape the registration information at the respectable data, even though it’s special from the plate to your car. Always ensure that your registration details are accurate and updated to keep away from any legal problems.

I’m totally confused as caravans don’t have number plates registered to them. They bear the number plate of the towing vehicle.

Have a look at this. Put in the initials and surf. Or also look at commercial companies, plenty selling them.

Rather than a DVLA plate, at some loopy price, have a look at This company I bought from them many years ago, the plate cost me £89. RIL followed by my collar number when I was a copper. The cost (£80) to transfer it onto different cars I have owned over the ensuing 30+ years as added up though!

When I worked ( a short time) in the Vehicle tax and licence department at the city council one of my jobs was to allocate new registration plates to the city motor dealers. Around the end of the month I’d get phone calls for “ interesting “ numbers for the next month. Some dealers were so keen for good numbers there were inducements on offer if they were given good registration numbers. In those days buying via DVSA wasn’t available and alternatives were Exchange and Mart.
