Janty Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I was looking at ANH's post about number plates and it reminded me about my perfect one. About six years ago I was browsing through the DVLA website (as you do) and I typed in JAN377E as a search (my name is Janette). That was the number plate I used to have on my Sindy car . It showed up for auction with a guide price of £2000. Hubby said we should go for it but I said no as I was convinced that it would go for a lot more. It didn't go for much at all in the end (I checked afterwards and was gutted). About two years afterwards, I received an e-mail asking if I was still interested in the number plate and that if I was I could have it for £10,000. I replied that they were having a laugh and heard no more about it. I do check from time to time to see if it comes up for sale again. Other plates I would love would be : JAN7Y J4 NTY AR51 JAN (my favourite) What would your ideal number plate be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 P03T ?? I dunno, are we supposed to be searching the DVLA site or just making one up? I'd like one with "Just" in it somewhere, I'd love 'Just 1' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlo Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 My OH already has personalised plates and I'm not mad keen myself. I suppose that I could find a J4 NEL which kind of looks like my name. I saw a good one today 700 600D - at least I think that's what it was - it looked like Too Good anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brain doesn't work like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 My parents went over the top (as usual) with my son's Christmas present one year and bought him an electric car. We made number plates for it....BAD3N. Edited to say that now I think about it, it could have been B4DEN. You get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 it'a funny though when you see how desperately some people try to make their number plates read something different... I believe if your getting a personalied one then it should clearly ready what it is, not by adding these little pieces of plastic etc to make a c look like an E for example. Which is illegal in itself. I wouldn't mind my initials and then the number 7 which is my favorite number.. so LJD 7 or LD 7 if anyone see's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I saw husbands name really cheap years ago and didn't buy it as it seemed OTT at the time. Could have made a killing on it though in hindsight. Some no make me ROFCWL though. One on a big flashy car here is 30 CM and the driver is a really short male. Could just be my mind though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Well, obviously mine would be the one I saw tonight . I knew I should have followed him/her home . Not really into personalised numberplates, I'm afraid . In fact, not into cars at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Being Essex girls we obviously already have personalised plates, although both me and Mum need to hit the DVLA to get them put on our cars. My car was a dodgy internet deal so was in someone elses name for 6 months and I just got the paperwork through a couple of weeks ago and Mum got her new car last week. We only have to go to Chelmsford so we'll probably do it just after Christmas. Neither of them are that exciting as they were both very cheap ones we bought years ago - when you are buying a brand new car spending £250 on a number plate doesn't seem like a lot. Mum picked hers quite easily but I had about 5 versions of mine printed out from the DVLA site and stuck on the wall in the office for a few weeks to help me decide. Anyway if you see us passing - give us a flash! K16 KJE or X7 EVE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe if your getting a personalied one then it should clearly ready what it is, not by adding these little pieces of plastic etc to make a c look like an E for example. Which is illegal in itself.: I agree with you totally on this, when you have to squint and stare at a number plate to try to work out what they are trying to say because they have used numbers of letters in the wrong way, or the spacing is really stupid, then I often wonder what the point is. End of rant. I remember D1 ANE came up for auction years ago and it went for £20k, which I think is just insane!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 When I was 6 my Dad bought an old Vauxhall with the number plate 2SKL which would have been perfect for OH and me now (I'm the S, OH is the K and our surname starts with L). Dad was offered money for it but wouldn't sell just the number plate because it meant buying a new one for the car and that sounded too complicated for him.
