Registration mark for sale - AW14 NKR

egyptiancotton

A friend of mine has a registration mark for sale - AW14 NKR (A W14NKR) you can guess what it says

It's quite a quirky plate. Any idea how much it's worth? What would your advice be on marketing a plate like this?

Edit: I don't actually own this registration. A friend of mine does!

As you had to explain it before it meant anything to me at all, I'm afraid the answer has to be "virtually nothing" I'm afraid.

Try ringing those people who sell numberplates on commission and ask what they think.

Luckily I'm not lumbered with the risk of losing money on it

Well there's not much you can do with it unless you are waiting on a new car come March and I never realised you can buy plates before they are valid.

A friend of mine bought it on the release day of the new '14' registration marks.

It's close but really to me the plate doesn't spell what you think it does lloydyyy. I'd venture that it isn't worth anything. Sorry.

There's a reason for that too. The DVLA won't release any plates which can be used to make up swear words.

Luckily I don't own it. A friend of mine bought it as a gamble to sell it on. I'm just putting the feelers out there to see what kind of feedback is received.

My friend has received the paperwork. There's a risk that the DVLA could recall the plate, but we'll see!

As it doesn't spell anything mate I doubt they'll recall it. If it had spelled what your friend thinks it spells it wouldn't have been released in the first place - I promise you.

Why do you say it doesn't exist? Have you a way of checking? The only thing I can think of to check is to examine similar plates which the DVLA are selling although as this number is already sold it won't come up.

I can certainly bring up plenty of AW14 plates. The closest I can get is AW14NKW http://dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk/search/current-number-plates.html?prefix1=A&prefix2=W&numbers=14&letter1=N&letter2=K&letter3=&action=current&pricefrom=0&priceto=&currentmatches=52&searched=true&openoption=yes&language=en&prefix2.x=86&prefix2.y=19
