Go pick your own as they are avaiable.

Dealers make them or get them made ready for your car.
My dad ran a large garage with over 100 vehicles.
He would get the cars, vans and lorries in two or three weeks before the new reg was due out.
He would get them plated insured and taxed, then the drivers would pick them up at 00.01am on the first.
He had his own number plate making kit.

Why would the OP pay £250 upwards for a 22 plate from DVLA when one will come free with the car?

I've had two new cars, got to pick pre registration day which reg number I would like from a selection available. Like others have said they are released in advance of collection day be it the first of March or Sept and made up by the dealer or a third party company acting on behalf of.
Do check to make sure you have the a plate from the desired date, not a pre reg.

That was just to prove that they are out there, although are not legal on the road yet.

Just because you won't pay for one, does not mean others will not to get something that is easy to remember 👍
I'm more than happy to pay £250 for a plate I can keep for the rest of my life.

You can keep the one that came with the car for life if you want to (and pay the transfer fees).

When m'wife last bought a brand new car - she didn't get to pick from a list.  I said that if the random one was really awful (i.e. the letters were an acronym that reminded her of work) , I'd treat her to a replacement with her initials which would have been  £399.   She was happy with what she got - but told the dealer the tale and he said that he had in the past sorted out a cheap non-dating plate for a customer who really didn't like the random allocation.  Good customer service on his part.

Last time I bought a brand-new car, the dealer gave me a spreadsheet to choose from and there were 50 plus options.
