While on the subject of ultimate registration numbers for ultimate cars, I think this one qualifies:
Any others out there?

If anyone has a hair/beauty/tanning salon or know someone that does, I have for sale;
BE52 CUT
BE52 WAX
BE52 TAN
Reads BEST CUT/WAX/TAN
I had them on some cars that we used for my wifes salons but sold up and moved to Spain!
I also own;
BE52 PUB
Its also for sale, I dont own a pub and never have but while I was buying the others off the DVLA I bought that as it was cheap enough!
Im open to offers if anyone is interested!

They are both for sale direct from the dvla....
http://dvlaregistrations.direct.gov....super_priceto=
A lot of people go about about buying plates the wrong way as using companies such as reg transfers costs you more money. The DVLA owes them 2 plates and if you buy direct from the dvla the price you see is the price you pay including the assignment fee. When you buy them from other companies, they just purchase from the dvla for you add add extra money on top!

Hmm, sound advice and that really makes sense.
Trying to do a 'dateless' search on that site but not having any luck. Is it possible?

The dateless plates all go to auction i think. You can check on the site when the next auction is and download a pdf or excel sheet catalogue of whats coming up.

If you want a 'fake' dateless the NI plates are worth a punt. If you w=are careful with the letters you choose it is not always that obvious at first glance*
From £52 plus transfer fee : http://www.plates4less.co.uk/irish-n...?orderBy=price
I am sure there are other sites too, that was just the first I Googled
*Yes, I know the Irish specific letters give it away to those in the know. Irish number plates always contain the letters I or Z.
**The show plat was only while I was parked and I refitted the correct plate before I left

Im sure the irish plates are all roughly the same price as what you payed as the DVLA dont sell them so it will just be from the likes of regtransfers and plates4less etc.
Unless the plate spells GAZ or BAZ etc you shouldnt pay more than £100

That's interesting, I guess DVLA try to maximise what they get for each plate. I'm surprised you can't just buy an early suffix plate for a fixed price though, I'll be looking to put a '63 A plate on the SWB when I get round to building the thing -
https://secure.r4v.co.uk/buy.php?r=ANV+164A
I know it won't be 100% period correct as the SWB models were built between '59 and '61, but it'll be close enough for me and half the price of a three letter three number plate.

So would a 3 letter, 3 number plate not be better? You may get 1 at the auctions for around the same price as that A reg. look out for ones with U X and Z etc in and they normally cheaper

I'll have to give it a go, I understand you can hold them 'on retention' until you need it, is that right?

No, unfortunately transfer fee, vat and buyers premium are extra. You' might find a 3/3 plate for £350 or so but then add the above to make £540 or more.
