NorfolkNWeigh Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Ok, I know this is going to offend some people but does anyone have an old cherished* number on retention lying in a drawer somewhere ?I need to hide the age of my ancient (58 plate) Merc, in much the same way as coach operators do.I've only got about £500 to spend which seems to be a bit optomistic for an English 3x3, but not that far away if it's got Xs,Ys or other unlikely initials in it.I can buy NI 3x3 direct from DVLA for £399 all in or wait for the next auction at the end of the month and possibly get a 2x3 English one for about £500 including vat and fees.

Tamworthbay Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 58 plate ancient? That's bang up to date modern, anything ancient has a handle poking out the engine. Have you tried the autotrader website? The mag always used to have loads of cheap plates in the back, I assume they have transferred that on the website when the mag stopped.

Pillock Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Don't get NI.I assume it's so your posh clients don't feel they're getting into an "older" car, but NI plates always scream "Bloke called Phil who will spell it FIL for a cheap private plate". They're a bit..... nasty. In my humble yet correct opinion. Maybe your saving grace is one that ends in an I (the letter i) before the numbers, and a bit of cheeky reorganisation of digits.... so NWI 9970 becomes NW 19970 which looks classier. But will get you a bollocking. davidfowler2000, Paul Dupart, AnthonyG and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryoldcortina Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 What about buying a dead 90's rotbox with an accidental 6 figure plate (like J12ABC) and transferring that? Hides the age - on a modern it looks like a private plate and only costs you the £80 fee. Just make sure the "donor" has been taxed within 5 years and still has a SORN in place.

barefoot Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just get NNW 123 made up, tape it over your real plates and run on that.The fine for wrong plates is only £20. You'll need to be stopped twenty five times before you get to your £500 budget and there's so few plod on the roads these days that it'll take at least a decade to be stopped that often.

panhard65 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 On the subject of plates I have been trying to get A666HGF for my Rolls. It hasn't been released by the DVLA and when I asked about it they said it would have to go to auction but they won't do that as it isn't likely to be popular. I then made an enquiry with one of the more expensive plate transfer companies apparently they can get it but it will be 1500 quid. Must be a good back hander going to someone.
