Numbingly Dull Number Plate Facts (so dull you'll lose the will to live...!)

Ever wondered why DVLA Personalised Registrations have so many number plates on their website...? (usually somewhere between 25 and 35 million)
No....?
Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway.
Fact is there could be an awful lot more but they withdraw most of the new issues from sale after the first month. We don't know how or why the survivors are selected but do know the maths to work out how many there should be;-

Current Style

23x23x1x1x24x24x24 = 7,312,896 new releases every 6 months since “51” (times 14) = 102,380,544 up to and inc. “08”.

Prefix Style

1x9x10x10x23x23x23 = 10,950,300 Plus

1x9x10x23x23x23 = 1,095,030 Plus

1x9x23x23x23 = 109,503
Sub Total = 12154833 on every new release from “A” to “Y” (times 21) = 255,251,493


Total = 357,632,037

There are only 30 about million cars on the road.
Even if you said that, to date, 60 million plates had been used up to include lorries, bikes, scraped vehicles and private plate purchases etc. the remainder would still be enough to put most punters off searching.

Would have been even better for Reggie though.

If you wanted to include the Suffix range then the total = 612,883,530 give or take.

(PS:- There may be some of you who notice that this equation isn't exactly correct and feel the need to contact us about it..........Just don't, eh?)

Who ate all the Pies

I think this number plate will look good on a Harley Fat Boy...?

Bentley Super 8

I went to a Bentley racing day at Silverstone last year courtesy of NJC Autotech and saw this truly horrifying car. Apparently, Bentley built just 9 of these cars at a cost of £25m EACH! (or was that the other way around?) solely to race at Le Mans. Anyway, you could be driven for half a lap of the track - which could have taken no more than a minute - for the paltry sum of...£1000! So... If you people don't use Regfinder.net - which cost 2 years of my life - then i ain't gonna get to have that experience.... Come on!

Regfinder.net Dog

I found this dog whilst out walking one day. Given that i wasn't very hungry at the time, i decided to keep her. She's now the official "Regfinder.net Dog". Like Top Gear dog but sadder. We named her RL03FXN so she could have her own personalised number plate. Also, I've trained her to sleep in the oven just in case. (Easy, you just put the dinner bowl in there...! clever eh?).

Mc Cann

I found this plate on regfinder.net for the bloke who built the house next door to me.
Not bad for £400...?

Upstart

Maybe we should start a "Yourplateisshit.com" website...? A great laugh having this number plate on a van, though.. Park it next to a Ferrari and it still turns more heads.... There's thousands like this on Regfinder.net

PEN15

Shouldn't be advertising for the enemy, really, but a good plate is a good plate.
Click here! to pay more......... SEE MORE! See More! I meant 'see more', of course.

PlateSpeak

I'm officially announcing PlateSpeak. PlateSpeak is basically Number Plate language. Why? Cos I can. It works like Regfinder does and is a bit like Text speak only using number plates. I'll post the rules....ummm when I've made them up.

EXAMPLE of PlateSpeak:

UN08END

Got an email from DVLA last week telling us to remove UN08END from our records.
I bet they enjoyed sending that one.

Thing is:

1. It wasn't on Regfinder.net (must improve NOB = KNOB)......... Done

2. what about the other 22,000 odd rude number plates on Regfinder.net :-)
