Has anyone seen any good private plates in the trade? I think can give a really professional look. They seem to use them more in Scotland. The best I've seen is TAX 1E in Manchester.

Any good ones out there?

I've seen some Irish ones like VGI 5454 - Company phone numbers.
The T2 CAB type of plates are common too. As are TXI 142 and the like.

I used to have TAX 112S for a number of years but more than doulbled my money on it when I sold it. Currently have HC 51 CAB on my tx2 and my H/C plate number is 51 so it looks quite good on it (perhaps the only thing that is good on a tx)

BO55 CAB & RO55 CAB both available now for £1,999 each.
So if there's a Ross or a boss with pleanty of cash, these would be ideal.

Good plates, but as I understand the rules on this, when it comes out you'll only be able to use the plate on a new car. The rules state that the plate must be older than the car and that you can't put a new plate onto an old car.

This info was taken from http://www.regtransfers.co.uk/main/faq/ ... #Reg_no_18

You may not make a vehicle look newer than it actually is by transferring a registration that bears a later year suffix or prefix letter. For example, you may not put a plate with an S year suffix on a car that originally carried an R suffix registration. The same principle applies to prefix registrations. You may, however transfer an older registration to a newer car (an R reg plate to an S reg vehicle for example). Vehicle registration numbers that do not contain a year identifier may be assigned to a vehicle of any age.

That's quite clever Mr Flep.

And here's was me always thinking that a lot of people with such plates simply couldn't spell. :badgrin:
