I would laugh if they suddenly changed the rules on private number plates - e.g. you can have anything you want, or that all the funny 1/2/3 digit jobs are outlawed and you're issued an appropriate reg for your vehicle based on date of manufacture. Then his £6m would be 0.06p :-)

You would get to keep it. It would continue to be worth more than the car to which it is attached. :-)

I really have to meet you and see this car !!

Currently in the market for a new(er) car. Seen one that's a good price, unfortunately the reg plate -
BJ11FKU
On the plus side, if i bought it, the missus has already said she wont drive it.

The inference is that you think he's due some sort of comeuppance.

What has he done wrong?

He has made an investment in something that has no inherent value?

I see it more like he's bought something he wants and then declined an offer from someone to buy it from him.

Regardless though, I don't see how it being rendered valueless by a change in legislation could be reason for anyone to "laugh".

Further proof in the saying that there's only three things in life people find funny - sex, sh*t, and other people's misfortunes....

Smacks of bitterness really :roll:

a bit confused by this statement - not sure exactly why daily mail were on about with this....

That is a bit misleading but I assume it means you can carry out a normal plate transfer :?

I wonder how/ why Councils ended up with these plates in the first place, we hav G0 and VO on our chauffeur cars :thumbsup

Dundee Lord Provost has TS1 on a VW Phaeton, it's been the Lord Provost's number plate for years I reckon.

I still live in hope that we get a new Lord Provost who loves cult TV and demands a white Volvo P1800 for a nice and close replica...
