This subject gets a poor rep. Sometimes they are called ‘vanity plates’ but there are many, more subtle, reasons for using them and not all of them financial.
The one on my 75 was acquired in 1987 and has been transferred to all of my cars since. Frequently told I should have gone down the MG route, the first three characters are 190. 19 being the date in the month we were married and the 0 being the start of our lives together all those years ago. Then, after the space, my three initials (no mysterious interpretations of fixing stud positioning).
Bingo, no excuse necessary to persuade Celia that the purchase was essential and for all the right reasons. That’s not an easy nut to crack.
Mind you, parked in a drive near me there used to be a Porsche with 2 C0X. Now that takes a lot more explaining.
