Number Plate

[matchboy]

My brother has various personalised plates - one of them cost £28,000 

Did he win the lottery?

No, self made!  And he's a lucky cun.....!

I may get a cheap private plate with my initials when the 63 period runs out.

Why keep wait until the 63 period runs out. Id it so that everyone knows you've got a new car? 

Yes

To many £28,000 may seem like an obscene amount of money to spend, but it is a very good investment. Better than money in the bank. Some might say better than in property too.

It's an excellent investment as the price will never drop.  Particularly the one he has, in fact it will be worth more than he paid for it now.

There is VW63GTD available on the DVLA site for all you GTD owners out there

But what would you do with it when you sell the car? I think that number plates should be personal to you, not the car.

If you spend some time you can find GT10HOT  dvla £799 ,one I considered ,bought G 1 AVW in the end more my
age type of thing

Also, there's a company (I forget the name) online that will find whatever plate you want (even if it's not available through the DVLA for example) - they then contact the owner on your behalf and try and buy it for you - so if you've got the money you can literally have whatever you want!

I didn't know you could kind of select your plate from a list.  This is something that I would definitely like to try and do. I have a temp car at the moment to do me till my GTD arrives.  The number plate is SH12... which is just wrong.  I always thought the DVLA pulled certain plates if they were obviously obscene?

I was considering this (£699) but I'm undecided....

oops typing my reply in the wrong thread here

I wouldn't say no to the Chris reg if I didn't already have my own private reg hehe didn't buy myself though it was a 21st bday gift, not sure I'd buy one myself, swapping it around sometimes a pain

Yep, had it since 2007 it was on a TT convertible now retention.. but I didn't fancy a red gti !  I'm hoping someone with a Ferrari 458 on order finds me and makes an offer.   I also have one for when someday in 30 years I can afford something exotic  UR11 SLO
