I realised yesterday that someone in the UK is driving about with the number plate M1 AOW. That plate will be worth a few thou$ands!
The licencing authorities refuse to release number plates which could/would be offensive, such as PEN 1S, but a canny Scotsman eluded them by ordering PI55 AFF. (AFF is a colloquialism for "off" in parts of Scotland, so you can see what the number plate would mean to many when the 55 looks like SS)
there is definitely a plate PEN15
best ive seen is OGO2L
Popular and hugely expensive! They are not even able to personalise them: you have to buy one you like that already exists. The Americans have the right idea about letting you personalise them for a reasonable price.
Has the law changed now? I'd heard rumours that you could only swap number plates if you owned the original car that the plates were registered to and it had to be roadworthy too.
the UK DVLA run a website of unissued registrations that anyone can buy and assign to their vehicle. there are 1000's available. my plate--M 666 XJW cost me £250 including the tranfer fee and value added tax ( VAT ).
i sold the car last november--but retained the registration ( termed on retention ). this cost me £80----which includes applying it to another car if i choose to.
i knew a headmaster who had
OKS 1 R
It was spaced to give OK S1R
