Private registration number plate – an exclusive:

G13 CAB

This vehicle registration number represents a unique investment opportunity for individuals in the taxi-cab industry. This number plate also has a wider appeal within the cabriolet market and for the private investor. G13 number plates (readable as "GB") have become an increasingly desirable plate choice over recent years. Readable as "GB CAB", the plate above will be sold from May 2008. The starting price is £4000. For further details including the final sale date in June 08, please register your initial interest with: p.j.mellor.02@cantab.net

I hope this raises some interest. Apologies if this is in the wrong section - any guidance on placement / locations welcomed.

If you can get a tenth of that from a cab driver I will be very surprised.

And of course having the 13 too near to the G does happen to be in contravention of the law.

But hey ho. :roll: :roll:

There is no gap between the G and the 1 on this type of number plate. The problem would occur if you changed the gap between the 1 and the 3.

Yea G13 is no problem - it seems to be a popular one cos it can be read as GB - very patriotic ! Not bad with the CAB combination....if you own the firm.
I've been looking at investing in a private reg - none of the good ones are what you'd describe as a bargain. Check out "Cab 1" on www.nationalnumbers.co.uk -- its £44,000 !!

GBC apart from the plate being worth more than the cab, Ell tell would be able to spot you a mile off if he had his glasses on :mrgreen:

£4000? I doubt a cabbie will buy that.

London Taxi's possess a wealth of private index numbers. Personally I would rather spend £4000 on something more than a reg plate.
