    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!

    Spaced like above in red it's an illegal plate.

    Spaced correctly it's meaningless and therefore worthless.

    Windup or someone is telling porkies?

    Plate doesnt exist..

    I've seen the paperwork and it was purchased in front of my very eyes. I can guarantee this registration exists. It's not yet assigned to a vehicle; it's currently on retention.

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

    There was a very famous case where the DVLA released a registration for sale and it was later recalled: http://www.thestar.co.uk/what-s-on/motorist-fuming-after-being-told-to-remove-b011-lux-registration-which-cost-399-1-3522519
  • Shame it can't go in a 12 year old Golf.

    It'll never compete with PEN 15

    which would be an ideal number for a writer, if I've understood correctly. LOL :p

    Regtransfers.co.uk have that in the sale @ £80,000

    I have tried to restrain myself but as you started it:

    I quite fancy BD08 BRA (They didn't issue BD08 IES as they don't like I) bargain at £250! and on a motor bike you get it in two rows
    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    (except air quality and Medical Science ;))
  • Or there's UP10 NKR @ £29,995 :D

    BOL 10X is another valid plate, last time I saw it was on a Rolls Royce in Croydon.
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it

    I saw that on a car in a car park at Brands Hatch, many years ago. It only confirmed my low opinion of the owners of private plates.
    Some tears ago I was picking my car up from the local garage and they were ringing some woman to tell her that they could not issue an MOT certificate for her car until she came in with a set of plates that did not have illegal spacing, and got them fixed to the car.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Not in the same league though, is it?

    The age of that plate is what stopped them from recalling it. It would have been issued before the DVLA started selling plates to raise funds which I think was some time back in the 1980's.
