private plate query

I used to buy and sell many damaged cars over the years and got used to reading and understanding reg number area codes so realised that EK/1-999 was Liverpool and never issued on a 1978 S so it's been available on request all those years. There are only six people with my name so I wasn't in a rush. Jammy or what?

 

Good number once you know it's link.

 

I don't know if this is if any help or actually correct but I have a suspicion that you can't use a private plate that's been on a car and stick it in a bike. Just in case any purchase is made and that's the case you might want to check. Andy

 

Good to know I do recall trying to put mine from the car to the bike probably 20 years ago and being refused.

 

Any suggestions where to buy a good quality black and silver metal pressed plate ? Some I've seen are a bit naff and the plastic ones don't look right..

 

Yes we did the same with our VW I'm sure the dealer allocates a new number before the registering of the private plate I just left it up to them, as I will to the new dealer once I decide to swop the beast

 

Think it's illegal not to have a reflector also, they need to be of a certain size so putting one of those ones the size of a 10 pence won't cut it if Mr Plod is really in a bad mood.

 

I paid about £250 for my T100 plate from DVLA (which included transfer fees) this was a couple of years ago, and now everyone and his brother seem to have T100 plates !!...

Still, they fit onto a smaller plate without looking too illegal.

 

Register it in Oz and just pick a plate.
