    It's -J--OTA.
    And no it's several years newer than a 03 plate.

    My colleague who happens to be Asian says JOTA is a common Sikh Indian name.

    I thought they were all called Singh?

    Worth buttons I'm afraid.
    THAT much?

    Look, DM, it really is very simple. If you think it's worth something, put it on eBay as "will be put on retention", 99p, no reserve. Sit back, wait for the bids to roll in. Or not. Hell, if you're paying the transfer fee to put it on retention, I'll bid 99p. And probably win it.

    has he really got an A3 S-line look a likey that has been to the moon and back?

    I know it is the only believable thing he ever said in his past guises but like you at the moment everything is taken with a pinch of salt

    No, it was an A3 S Line but with all the S Line bits replaced with SE ones if you remember the pics?

    If somone from the OP's [STRIKE]work[/STRIKE] playschool thinks its worth something, then sell it to them for £1000

    Fine okay. The valuation fee is refundable if I decide not to sell so I'll go ahead and let them know I'm not interested in selling it off

    I've seen S1NGH on quite a few cars round here, if I were a suspicious person I would wonder how 1 person seems to change his car so often......
    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 ;))

    To people in the know, is S## XRJ worth anything?

    I've largely concluded for the past two years that there are insufficient Jaguar XJR owners with more money than pedancy for characters being in the correct order, but a few people have pointed at my registration and claimed I should get it valued.

    Believe it or not, first reg site I found was asking around £389 for letter number XRJ, £157 for letter number number XRJ

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Today I got my registration plate valued with 'CLICK4REG', paid £10 and received an email back saying its worth £475.

    Going on this and the actual value of the plate, I'd say you were down £9


    Anything is worth what someone will pay. If you think there is a value, advertise, see what comes back.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?
