Yup. I have looked at DVLA but can't really find anything. They still charge a lot for some of their plates as well.

Anyway, the plate I'm looking at doesn't have VAT on it on Regtransfers but the other sites with the same plate do

I saw S7LAG on a Focus with a loud exhaust today...not my choice of plate!!

Theres a DB7 here with a OO-7 plate. I could buy any of the following for my Cooper with a 1000e, I don't think Ive seen any of them in use.

PGN-1, MC-56, MCS-56, MC-77, MIN-156 (I'm born 1977)

MIN-1 variations are already used, almost any variation of two or three letters + one, two or three numbers except 0 is accepted.

Whether he is or not, he should try selling that to Richard Hammond, he might be prepared to pay a bit for that

Surely you must pay a fortune in retention fees?!

What car is B457ARO on just out of curiosity, must have cost a bit?

I like the Motorbike one too

MiniOneSam · Oct 12th, 2007, 06:41 PM

Woohoo *does dance*

Just got my letter from the DVLA, and I am now the proud owner of S66M HH (Sam H)

phildec1 · Oct 23rd, 2007, 02:52 PM

I once worked with the guy who had GAV 1N as a new registration, name of Paul Hurford. It was on a white Austin Maxi, believe it or not it came straight from the dealer as a normal reg.

I guess no one would admit to havin' the name Gavin at that time

zyo · Oct 23rd, 2007, 07:38 PM

I'm not sure if you have seen my earlier post but I saw GAV1N on an XR3i convertible about 20 years ago, my mate Gav (suprisingly) wanted it and we always imagined we would see it on a Roller so we were quite suprised to see it on an XR3, it was three grand for the car and i'm sure the plate was included.

Probably JOO 7B (old suffix style Letter Letter Letter Number Letter) - I know someone with 'JOO' as a Prefix plate so it can be done even though O looks like 0!!
