Vic is def the place to be in Australia for personalised number plates.

In the ACT...

My 27-772 plates were a one-off fee of around $700 by the time I got the slim line front plate made (no slim line rear plates in ACT). The price of numeric plates changes depending on the number of digits. That is, 1 digit plates are the most, 5 digit plates the least. For some odd reason 6 digit plates are among the most expensive.

To get an obviously car related plate such as "MINI" would cost at least $3,500, depending on the style of plate chosen.

To get my name or intial, eg "LIAM" or "LC", would be at least $627, depending on the style of plate chosen. Haha, if only my initials were "MCS".

When these plates were introduced into the ACT some bozo changed his name by deed poll to something like Bill Holden Torana Gemini Ford Falcon Laser Mazda Toyota Smith and forked out a heap on "name" plates only to sell them off at some stupid profit.

My uncle bought "QLD1" when he was in Townsville back in the early 80s (?) and flogged that off for some stupid amount of money as well.
