personalised number plates
 

A bargain for someone who is a bit of a magician...…...Paul Daniels widow has been persuaded to part with his personalized number plate he bought 30 years ago, with the registration MAGIC.

Only downside,,, the 150,000 pound price tag!!!!!!!!!!


You know you're gonna like it( not a lot, not a lot).

Originally an Ayrshire registration AG, CS and SD were the three registrations but for some reason we lost the AG ones and got SJ

All those original JAG plates came from Ayrshire. JAG 75 is owned by a local businessman and a simmilar plate MAG 1G was owned by a former motor dealer in Kilmarnock.
I still see it occasionally running about locally.

Doesn't Jimmy Tarbuck have COM1C ?

Barry McGuigan used to be seen driving around Belfast, in a red Espirit occasionally with BOX 1T.

But as MGZ is now out in Belfast, get yourself a ZS/ZR/ZT that has been registered in Northern Ireland and re register it MGZ ;)

I think he must have had it longer than 30 yrs, it was on his Ferrari 308 when he came to my sixth form in 1987!! Also saw it in the late 90’s when I ended up stationary on the M4 in rush hour and he was in the lane next to me in his Roller !

The most memorable plate I ever saw was in the early 1970’s on a yellow E type ... FU 2.

If a name or message etc. is still available and nobody else has it in Western Australia - then it will cost you less than £750 and that is for a super duper special and coloured plate, should that be what floats your boat. Less if you can shoe horn your message into a different style plate. I have "WEARSIDE" and it cost me $80 a few years ago and purchased to reflect my shelf company name and chosen at a moment in time when i was incredibly homesick. An affliction i have since recovered from and am in full remission of. (A desperately sick and terminally ill parent requiring 5 short notice visits to UK in 18 months will do that to you and more). Still miss the football, however, now that my team's fortunes are on the up and they have started winning again, albeit in a frustratingly lowly division.
You get ripped off for supposed numberplate exclusivity in UK. Still think it looks stupidly naff when you see people relying on 3's or 5's to resemble E's and S's etc. It is starting to creep in here too and hate it.
Best clever one i have seen here is "BAA BAA" and seen on a black Jeep, as well as "INCEY WINCEY" on an Alfa Spider. We still get the boy racers and their 2KWIK4U'S and UNVME's etc. but there are plonkers everwyhere you go.

I like the incey wincey one lol. I like plates like that. Still wouldn't buy one, especially if it related to the car. There used to be a vw polo near me, that had something like wxi 80. I can't remember the identifier but it used to be on an Audi 80, and used to see an Audi a4 with the numbers 320 on it. Obviously previously owned a bmw. In saying that 1,2 and 3 digit plates do rise in value. But to me if they identify a previous car it looks wrong.

My old boss was obsessed with getting personal plates, spending what I heard was a 6 figure sum for 1ia. Ia being his initials. His money though and he did work for what he's got, so fair play to him.

That used to belong to Fiona Fullerton - not sure if she still has it. It was up for sale in 2000 for £300,000 (Range Rover included!)

Many years ago, when I worked as an insurance broker, one of our customers bought himself 12 AXE for his Jag.
We couldn't work out what relevance it had to him, the car, his business - anything.
He told us it was because he had a one foot chopper :eek:
