UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I was going to go to an auction the other day but decided against it as I didn't have enough money (turns out I would have needed about £7k )

The top 3 plates were as follows, in brackets and what they are supposed to read.

51 NGH (SINGH) - £253,968.13 (all in)

1 OO (100) - £197,127.50 (all in)

MR51 NGH (MR SINGH) - £101,130.00 (all in)

Now who has that money sat in the bank. Basically if you go there and win them on the day you have to pay before you leave

apparently mr singh seems to have the cash?

i'll be on the look out for a mr abramovich number plate but i'm not holding out much hope

ther rubbish plates any way.

To you maybe, but not the people who paid well over £100k for them.

shocking plates!

i saw a good one on a porsche boxter:

B10NDG (Blonde)
funnily enough, the drive was a blonde woman!

a woman who lives near me has L4YME as her plate, can't remember what car it is tho

not sure if its still available but wish i had £7k last year and i would of def had it for myself

D7CKYE

Ever wondered why you sometimes see old bangers with plates worth *much* more than the car on them?

Two reasons:

1. The genuine aristocracy (those with family money) are said not to appreciate conspicuous shows of wealth.

2. It's a way of avoiding inheritence or captial gains tax. If the plate's been in the family long enough to never be audited/noticed by the tax man, then passing cars from one member to another with the plate attached passes the wealth associated with it "under the radar," as it were.

Just thought I'd share.

Deek.

i think personalised plates finish your motor off nicely, its just striking a deal at the right time!
Theres a sweet Audi RS6 not far from me with the plate PRS 7, i will get some pics later

Thats an interesting thought actually. There is a dark blue mid-90s Honda Civic fastback that I see in and around town often, perfectly standard and a bit rough around the edges, and certainly nothing remarkable until you clock the numberplate: BB3. Always wondered why such an expensive 'plate was on such a "normal" car...

I wanted :-

B16 TRS

B19 TRS

but some uncaring person has bought them already haha..

I could have D12 TRS and tell the girls im a gaenocologist.
