I have a great REG .. coincidence?
« on: 21 June 2014, 20:07 »
I just wanted to share what my reg late is! The last 3 letters are DUB ... I only bought the car a few months ago and found this very cool! Its all standard not been modified do you think this is a coincidence or personalised by someone else?  :laugh:

Do you not have any history with the car to see if the reg is original?

My reg is Simelar. 1 letter. 2 numbers. 3 letters.

Cause the numbers start at 1 and go upwards there's obviously less registrations that are 1 or two numbers. So a lot of people think there private plates.

I often get asked if mine is private. I actually had to get the history of my car and prove that it's not private to my mate.

Only ever seen 1 standard reg that's 1 number.

Being a 6 didgit its worth something anyway regardless if it's original or private, even more so with DUB in it. I have G60TST on my corrado and its worth about 500 odd quid. Original plate on my mk2 F31HTM about 150.

I suspect it has had a plate change or was a demo car some time in its life.

Your best giving the dvla a call on that as there a many different circumstances that will dictate wether or not that's possible on your car.
