I have V11 DEJ - The later part being my initials, but, by moving the spacing to V1 1DEJ it spells Jedi backwards! Plus I think moving the spacing (illegal I know but 3 years down the line I’ve never been stopped) makes it look more interesting. I think a Cars Number plate is kind of it’s signature.

These werre originally on my 1976 Fiat 124 Spider, but now that that is on 'historic registration' the SPYDUH plates found a new host.

My plate isn't private but it is very special. A neighbour of mine has a similar registration and when the two cars are parked side by side they make a lovely pair. I will post a photo soon so that you can see what I mean! :D

You just passed me on West Hampstead high street! Sounded pretty good - that’s not a stock exhaust, is it?

I was the guy in shorts... :D

I have a private registration on retention, FRA991E. I'd not been planning to use it, but my coupe has quite a charmless registration, LJ 07 VXG. I'm not really a fan of private plates, so have conflicting thoughts. I'd been planning to sell the registration, but I think the coupe might look a little smarter with the private plate screwed on.

I'll make a decision when I get my V5. Meanwhile if anyone thinks they can persuade me whether it's the right or wrong thing to do, I'm all ears. Well, eyes.

Could you get some plates made up and just try them on the car ?
