Re: Personal Number Plates..
I have been involved with motor vehicles all of my adult life. I have driven lots of vehicles from mopeds to centurion tanks.If I never have to drive another mile, I would be a happy bunny.
In my mind people that have personal number plates, they are saying, " look at me, I have flash motor with my plates. Big man or woman"
If that is what they want, then let them have it. Most of these personal plates mean nothing to me. I do try to interpretate as to their meaning, but in most cases I am lost.
Roxy. Why don't you just keep the plates on the car if you like the car so much that you want to own it.
It will not be personal to you so what? It only a vehicle registration number.
(I and I feel sure others would like to know what it is.
)

Re: Personal Number Plates..
Morning All, Have just got off the phone with DVLA. I got right through....faint. Turns out I was right ,the previous owner should have had the car returned to it's original number plate before she sold it. As long as the garage has the proper Log Book to give me then the plate stays with the car. I'll be checking on that today. If she decides she wants the plate after all for her new car and I've already taxed and returned said Log Book back to DVLA then it's up to me if I let her have it or not.Emjay.....The plate is nothing special, not to me anyway it's Nxx NAH.

How on earth could it ?
You could be promoting Vitamin B3 shots for canines,
recommending the Barrier 3 dog in greyound racing,
sending some arcane message about the pop group Three Dog Night
or any one of a host of other things.
If your plate was recognized by the local community (all of them ?), so was your vehicle.
If it was genuinely intended to promote a business, ever think of a small removeable advertising sign - which would actually be comprehensible to 100% of people including your existing clients ?
And have relevant info like contact details, location and services provided.
Probably at far less expense.
I trust that this plate-cost was not claimed as a business expense for tax purposes because I would consider that fraud.
As for the silly comments about Aussie hats, I have live here for some 70 years (including some time in the outback) and I have never seen one -
except perhaps in a few early comedy movies usually produced by Poms.
If they ever did exist, they would at least be practical and have purpose - not like stupid car-plates.
Phew, now I feel much better.
Oh the car and plate are registered to me and not my previous company so not tax deductable, but now worth lot more than I paid for it so an investment as well
just looked up
B3 TOG £1,600 , And Mine based on that a lot more which i was offered some years ago

Re: Personal Number Plates..
I have had a personal plate on my car since I bought it new in 2003. Am I concerned at the negativity on here? Have I let it worry me for 12 years?! Pfffft...have I heck!It was a 50th birthday present to myself (and my parents contributed towards it), so it is VERY personal to me. And I shall transfer it over to a new car if I replace this present one. Which I may only do if I decide to upgrade to a bigger more powerful one, or one to see me through my retirement.

If the previous owners want the plates back after the car has been sold to a new owner they will have to buy them back, and pay all the changeover fees.
