A car fan from Harrow splashed out on Monday morning when he bought a collection of personalised registrations encompassing the new 60-series within minutes of them being released for sale.
Rishi Gautam (pronounced Gotam) has patiently waited for the 60's release to buy a series of registrations which represent his surname; GG 60TAM, MR 60TAM, DR 60TAM and MS 60TAM.
While he already has the number plate R15SHE on his Jaguar X Type, he spent just shy of 2,800 pounds to secure the collection of 60 registration plates for his future generations.
The automotive design engineer said: "I'm a self confessed petrol head. I love everything about cars and I especially admire private number plates."
"Although I've owned R15SHE since 1997, I've always wanted to add more plates to my collection and have been looking for ways in which to spell my surname.
"After researching the possibilities I realised a couple of years ago the 60 series would be ideal and have since just sat back and played a waiting game. I contacted the DVLA and asked when they'd go on sale and have since had Monday, June 7, in my diary."
He added: "I'm extremely proud of my surname and wanted some personalised registrations to show it off and my collection will do just that even though I've bought them for my future wife and children!"
Explaining his reasoning behind the purchases, Rishi added: "I wanted plates to directly represent my surname, hence buying GG 60TAM and MR 60TAM. I have high hopes for a son or daughter of becoming a doctor and so I couldn't resist
DR 60TAM. MS 60TAM would sit well on my wife's car."
In order to secure his four number plates, Rishi went online and bought them in quick succession. The 60 figure will indicate all brand new vehicles registered for road use from September 1, 2010.
