If you want a number plate, get one... they're cheap enough... but get one that means something to YOU... thats my regret with my one.

I've got a plate on my 80, originally bought for my Coupe to disguise its age. Means nothing much tbh & it was cheap, but its short & I prefer short number plates. Oddly, I've had people thinking my car is newer than it actually is, despite it being 15 years old with an 80 badge on the back. I've always driven older cars through choice, so this is a novelty for me.

I have a real dislike for contrived number plates... like N2GEL. That was a good programme & I was surprised the guy came to the conclusion that he did in the end.

You obviously have too much spare cash! If you need a way to get rid of it I accept any amounts towards the Cq engine upgrade..

As the saying goes...

Money is a burden, let me relieve you of that burden...

Not one for private plates myself, but the one on Quasi is worth more than the car......now all i need to do is finish it, mot it, and get the reg sold off to pay for the darn thing....

i bought three that all follow on about 12 years ago for £800, the rest have come with vehicles bought, V4 NMB came on a van and was valued at about £600, one on the Ur was already on it and im sure the blue one was a private thing the first owner had as it matched his initials....got JJ on another car to....very naff but hey ho
Looked at buying a 'BUG' plate for her indoors beetle but they are a grand plus....mental
