Plate release dates explained





If your attention span's anything like mine (stoned goldfish) then I figure you probably wouldn't appreciate being linked to a newspaper article the size of the Old Testament droning on about reg plate release dates




Click Here! to read a short article about UK plate issue dates.
It's an old column but explains the whole caper from '63 to present day in 3 paragraphs.

Good job.

Breaking News.....! 12:37pm (15/2/2009)



ATTENTION ALL;

STANS = 51ANS
SIDHU = 51DHU
SIKHA = 51KHA
SIKKA = 51KKA
SIMON = 51MON
&
SINGH = 51NGH

I've just this minute received an email from the DVLA saying they've made available all the above personalized number plates with immediate effect.
There's 2544 of'em in total and the prices seem to be ranging from £1700 to 3K.

Get in there fast folks, before the sharks start circling....!

"Boring ba57ards ban plates"

The DVLA obviously have to try and spot these types of number plates before they reach the general sales website but I don't think it's for the reasons set out in this article
(Click Here!).
I could be wrong but I reckon there'd be a queue of people a mile long willing (and able) to part with 100K+ for this one, so my guess is you'll be hearing about this number plate and others like it when they are fetching record prices at future DVLA auctions.

P.S; Just for my curiosity, does anyone know if 'BA51ARD' managed to slip the DVLA net?
And if so, who's got it?

Read this....! It's important....!

This article is a warning about what can happen to your cherished number plate if your vehicle is stolen or written off.
Read It! or you may regret it......


100K for F9CKA....? Dream on, mate.

Hmmm......I just typed FOCKA in to Regfinder.net and it came back with 10 DVLA available plates with prices ranging from £245 to £490.
He might get lucky I suppose.

( I also typed in FUCKA and it came back with a BLINDER!
But I'm afraid you're gonna have to pay for that info... Set 'Your Vehicle's Age' to '13 reg' )

Invest in a Number Plate

I keep telling people that buying the right personal number plate is a brilliant long term investment but mostly this advise seems to fall on deaf ears.
(I think that they think I'm obsessed......! Hmmm.... don't know what that's all about.)
Anyway, don't take my word for it.
Read THIS ARTICLE and you'll see what I'm banging on about.
(Oh, and should you notice that the word "competitive" is in inverted commas, try not to be to cynical.....)

"Number is up for car plates, say police!!!"

Jesus..... I read that headline and thought for a minute we'd done two years work for nothing...
But it ain't so bad....
In fact, I think this is quite a good idea ( Click Here! To read the article.)
I used to worry that the DVLA would eventually do away with the alpha-numerical system for number plates in favour of a chip or a bar code but that was before we got REALLY involved in Regfinder.net.
Now I know the DVLA make a mean average of £250,000 a day, 7 days a week (excluding auction stuff), I very much doubt they'll be in a hurry to change things....... Would you?
