    I've always wondered if anyone ever had P155 OFF

    I actually requested this one in 1996 when I worked at a main dealer as the Rental Manager. Lady from DVLA on the phone told me computer said no.

    Note that the OP has not come back since his original post so I think we are wasting our Christmas with this one.

    Of course you did and you were tuned down again in 2005on PI55OFF. Did you have any success last year with BE11 END?

    Na, never tried in 05 Pep, and as for the latter one, I thought it had been allocated to a certain wanna be police officer! In any case, I don't reside in the West Mids area where I believe the prefix 'B' is issued.

    As always though, very funny! :T

    Years ago (Late 80's) my dad got his first company car with the plate ending LOO. I can remember quite a few people laughing at it at the time.

    If the dealer hasn't got any other plates I think you will be looking at around £250 to get a cheap private plate to replace it with.
  • I am not sure if you can sell the VRM off from the new car.
    I have a 61 plate fiesta, where on the log book it states under special notes..
    Non Transferable registration mark.

    You can put a private plate on the vehicle, but when you remove it, the original plate goes back on.

    That's interesting. The DVLA gave me an age related plate with no suffix or prefix. I've always assumed that it was non transferable but there are no notes the that effect on the V5.
