    Why not? They are easy to buy and transfer from one vehicle to another and it is all done online, now. Mine are in rememberance of my dead Mum. They are not for you, so what, why wouldn't you have them? undecided

    It  is very common to get the dealer to swap the plates over as they register the new car in your name. The only issue here, is the dealer messed up. It happens. Make them do the running around and the paying for it, I did.

    I do it myself now because I have had issues with dealers messing up in the past, and as it is so easy to do now, it is far less hassle to do it myself.

    There are other clever numbers though. TEN 66 was originally a local number as was PEN fifteen surprised

    Some years ago a friend worked in a Mercedes dealership in Cambridge. They serviced a car owned by a Jockey based in Newmarket. Apparently the mechanics were reluctant to road test the car after servicing.

    Number plate PEN15. 

    It was a genuine number, I know because I spotted it once.

    Most have a model/builder logo followed by a number although racing boats have an allocated number prefixed by country ID e.g. GBR. There is no specific requirement for anything here in the UK.

    Don’t need one but wanted one, it was a good investment as it happens. I paid £250 from the DVLA 6 years ago, it’s now worth if sold £650+ 

    I suppose it’s like saying why have you got a dog, why have you got a Sports car etc etc etc. It’s all about personal Choice. You may never have seen the need to have one, I did that’s my choice

    I bought my "A" prefix plate with a single digit and my initials when they were first released, almost 30 years ago for £140 - haven't a clue what it's worth now but it will be considerably more than that. Wouldn't want to part with it.
