Dark Silver Private Plates

How many of the UK based owners have bought private Mini related plates, and also how much did you pay.Ive seen my initials than 04 MCS for about £700 which I think is a bit steep .

I bought an 'old' style prefix plate for my ONE, rather then go for a '53 plate last year. Cost less and there's more flexibility in available plates

There are so many other plates that cost over £1k and mean very little!

My number plate cost £250.00 from the DVLA, that's all in.
I chose it when I knew I was buying the MINI Cooper S, but it was bought as a Birthday present, Thanks Mum and Dad
Hope you can figure out what it's meant to be
