Indeed, but there are also a lot around which have clearly been switched to a newer car as personalised plates.

I assume he never calls on the Bank of Dad for anything he wants?
I cannot envisage a situation where my kids would try and shame me about something I wanted that was not bank breaking and ask me to give the money to something else

My first vanity plate (as they are called in the US) was in California where you could have any previously un-issued and inoffensive combination of up to 7 letters and/or numbers for $40 a year car tax instead of the usual $25, so I had one with my name and it's sort of stuck with me.
Is that still the case? I thought that was back in the day before number plates became AANNAAA??
I was told that GU were leased cars??

Years ago I had a girlfriend whose boss had the reg GAY 1. It was because her name was Gay, not her sexual orientation. Probably worth a fortune now.
BHA was originally a Birmingham area plate

Spot on... Saw someone with that reg jump out his car and assault a recovery driver who had the audacity to stop to recover a broken down car. He had the choice of take another route and get delayed 1 minute or assault someone and incur a 5 minute delay.Anyone with the BO55 I automatically think what a f***ing tool

In Malta you can pay €1500 for a totally personalised plate I.e. SEAGULLS on a new registration. Some have xx or x1.
For €700 you can choose 3 letters and 3 numbers Some fools pay for KIA on a Kia orBMW on a BMW.

That’s interesting because you can transfer the plate with the DVLA.

That plate doesn't exist in the DVLA's "Check Vehicle" system: https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/?locale=en
Interesting. I might have misremembered but don't think so. I wonder if some numbers ( like royals? etc) dont show upThat plate doesn't exist in the DVLA's "Check Vehicle" system: https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/?locale=en
to us mere mortals...
Yup. Saw it in Essex last year.
It was on a Transit van so I think it's fair to say that it's not any of the BHA senior mgt team.

I'm not normally a fan, particularly of ones that purport to spell out a name, but two I've seen recently have been B16 TOE and F4 CUP.

Guilty I have a private plate but don’t have it on my current car. I’m looking at buying a new car soon so may put it on but undecided, may just sell the plate.
Sadly for some it’s a take on my username / nickname but was only £250 at the time.
I’m also guilty of fudging the spaces, I kept a set of legal plates in boot that I’d switch for mot or if I was stopped but was never needed.

Ive got private plate. its my name and 4 digits so I think looks good. it sits on an older car to disguise its age. it was very very cheap so am well happy.
I however think almost every other personal plate to be numpty. So grade 1 double standards.
