I know there are a lot of companies about who can supply personalised number plates as long as they are of a certain format e.g. B4OWN or B4OWNmr etc but where can you get tha chance to obtain the more expensive private number plates such as ROB or STEVE etc which follow no strict formats. note: I am using the above as examples as I am aware that the last 2 would cost a fortune. The only place I can see are the dvla auctions but if they are not there how do I go about finding the number I am after? >I know there are a lot of companies about who can supply personalised > number plates as long as they are of a certain format e.g. B4OWN or [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > The only place I can see are the dvla auctions but if they are not > there how do I go about finding the number I am after? There are a whole load of companies / agencies who will help you part with a whole load your hard cash in exchange for 2 pointless pieces of plastic. www.regtransfers.co.uk www.newreg.co.uk www.personallyyours.co.uk http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLC,GGLC:1970-01 ,GGLC:en&q=registration+plates etc > I know there are a lot of companies about who can supply personalised > number plates as long as they are of a certain format e.g. B4OWN or > B4OWNmr etc but where can you get tha chance to obtain the more > expensive private number plates such as ROB or STEVE etc which follow > no strict formats. They dont exist. All number plates conform to one of the uk's previous standards. AB12 CDE (always two numbers , 5 letters) A123 BCD ( 1 to 3 digits , 4 letters) ABC123 D (1 to 3 digits , 4 letters) ABC 123 (1 to 3 digits , 3 letters) AB 1234 (1 to 3 digits , 1 or two letters) Closest you'd get to steve is S7EVE or possible STE11E with sloping 1s Not sure how you'd get anything to spell rob. Possibly RO13 Plates that correctly spell words tend only to come up at auction rather than in the usual bargain basement listings in car magazines.  SignatureAlex Hermes: "We can't afford that!

STEVE would never have been issued. You might see for example STE11E where someone has (illegally) been a bit creative with the angles of the 1s and/or employed a black fixing screw in the appropriate place.

Jersey plates begin with J which is why its difficult to get personal plates with J in them even at DVLA auction. We had to get a Jxxx XXX type plate as the onl available at the time for someone. Guernsey plates apparently have ony digits so there are actually "1" "2" "3" etc still in circulation. Maybe someone from the island could comment? I heard it explained on a radio program after someone had commented they had seen a car with the plate "4" in London. Prices at auction are rocketing. I was looking for one like xx X and they have have double din price in the past two years. Still cheaper than from a dealer but not by much. I bought a plate that added 10% to the cost of my car. If I bought that plate to day it would add 50 to 70% to the price of the car (at its new price today). 10% was thinkable but 50% is unthinkable IMO. > >>I know there are a lot of companies about who can supply personalised > >> number plates as long as they are of a certain format e.g. B4OWN or [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > If I bought that plate to day it would add 50 to 70% to the price of the car > (at its new price today). My son baught an MG Metro a few years ago, for £600 with the reg'n in the format ABC 123. Which he kept when he sold it for £375. It's been on a Uno, Nova, Cavalier, and is now on his '99 323 BMW. The reg'n number is reckoned to be worth around £800, so he'd still be in pocket if he sold it.

So would I, but not by as much as someone I knew who had S plus one number. The number had belonged to the family since it was originally issued. One of the Banks had seen it round town and left a letter under her windscreen wiper one day. She got enough for the car to buy a flat. This was a long time ago, before the DVLA started auctioning off plates. > >I know there are a lot of companies about who can supply personalised > > number plates as long as they are of a certain format e.g. B4OWN or [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > You can't.
