  • I want a private reg (poor scorn upon me)…

    I want to put a private reg on my car. The reg I want currently exists on another vehicle but I know nothing about it or the owner. How can I track down the owner and make an enquiry in to the purchase?
    I understand this may upset some folk but I just fancy getting a reg unique to me that I can then keep every time I change my vehicle.

    I want one too – and it’s currently not allocated.

    Not sure I want to pay £1,500 for it though 😈

    You can do that with every reg plate. You know they’re all unique, right? Thats sort of the point.

    Have you not thought of just changing your name to by deed poll to KT66 YLT?

    Make, model or technical detail about the car – probably acceptable. Your initials – borderline. Your name or profession – dodgy territory. Your name spelled incorrectly – hanging offence.

    That’s what I did.

    You’re more likely to be scorned for “poor” not “pour”

    Yes, it does upset me. Especially if it’s one of those ones that almost spells a word, but not quite. Like
    STOO 91D
    P17 7OCK

    that sort of thing makes me break down and sob uncontrollably.

    Extra helping of scorn to be poured for “poor”.

    MR51 SMH (i’m guessing Mr. Simon Smith)

    I live in sunny Brentwood, in Essex

    I’d never have a private plate

    20 odd posts and nobody has mentioned ‘poor’ instead of pore.

    Standards are slipping I say

    I am happy to report that MX5 2 GAY is still available for £250. If only I was more confident in my sexuality…

    I drove past a chap in an old SUV the other week driving to Dover. He had a private plate, but one which was unrecognisable as a private plate with normal plate font & spacing.

    To get round this inconvenience he had a non road legal version made up with contorted letters & spacing and stuck to his roof box in an attempt to realise it was a private plate.

    Just struck me a a terribly desperate thing to do. If you get one, get a obvious private plate like “D4ve” or “B4zza”

    One of the directors of a company I used to work for had BMW 323 i on a BMW 323i.

    An owner of one of the Lakes quarries had a plate “FEC 1 T”, his name being Fecit (with a soft ‘c’).

    If you do get a private plate, make sure you buy a Range Rover to go with it.

    I think this is a really good combination and I’m surprised I don’t see it more often

    I’ll be that person… no he didn’t, that’s not an allowable number plate. He could have had BMW 323, or BMW 323L, but not BMW 323I

    Local potato farmer has T8TOES on his truck which (sadly) makes me chuckle when I see it.

    Best plate I’ve seen by a country mile was on a black McLaren F1 – “DAR7H”

    Most however are SH 1T3.
