Check out the DVLA site

http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/search/sea...e=2&search=mcs

There are loads of MCS plates - many for £250.

Good ones like K500 MCS for £250 as well.

I say look there first before being over charged by a broker unless there is one you want in particluar that is already sold.

I have got S16 BJD(my initials) from DVLA for £250, put a black number plate fixing between the 1 & 6 you get 'S1.6 MCS' pretty good for the price I think. S16 MCS not on DVLA
site unfortunately, but S666MCS is for £250. not sure you would want that though ! S900MCS also there, and loads of 'S16'numbers, not sure what initials you have but may be worth having a look.

Does anyone know about the laws of spacing numbers and letters on numberplates?
I have seen a few reg numbers on DVLA that only look good if there are no spaces, but I believe this is illegal.

If you alter the reg from the way it looks on the DVLA website its illegal, period.

Weather you get pulled for it though is up to the copper. If its a very minor alteration you'll probably be fine is you do a dinger then god knows

(thats not an N)

Got mine for £250 to, bargain, thers another place that sells reg's but only the same ones as DVLA. You may aswell ge them from DVLA theyre cheaper that anywhere else, unless the said place has bought it, or DVLA don't have it anymore.

DVLA is the best place to buy a personal plate. You can save a good £150 by purchasing direct from them.

This cost me £250 all in. Didn't think that was bad considering it's a palindrome with my initials.

Just purchased MC52 FUN, as a present for my wife who has got an S, she loves it and it really sums up the car. Got it through the DVLA for £500, about £100 cheaper than a broker. I would always try there first.
