Fun poll. How many of us have private registrations?
Just for curiosity, I was interested to know after looking at group photos what percentage of us have private registration plates roughly.
No need to disclose what yours is on here. (Unless you want to.)
But it would be interesting to see how many Yes / No votes we get.

I'll guesstimate 70% Yes, 30% No, but we will have to see.

One vote for Yes from me.

Due to the general lack of changes to the vehicle - putting a private number plate on it results in Joe Public not being able to tell if its a 2016 model, or a 1996 model Smile

Not that that was the primary reason I got a private plate (it was a gift when they were still sensibly priced when they launched the DVLA scheme). 2005 Td5 90 XS

Guernsey doesn’t do private plates, could have a special number but they can cost more than the car Big Cry
On a plus note any age car can have silver numbers on black background Thumbs Up 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

I've got 3 vehicles, my 90 with a nickname related "private" plate on that I've had for about 20 years now and has been on more cars than I care to remember, I have a FL2 which came to me with a private plate on, (M3 ***, nice for a BMW owner Whistle ) and a 1971 Rover P5B with its original age-related (J) plate which will definitely be staying.

Funny you mention that last sentence Mash.
On the TV the other day on a police thing they pulled a BMW for having those classic type plates which were fitted to about a 2004 age BMW.
I can't remember the outcome tough on it. ____\We|Will|Win/___

Can't imagine it will be 70/30.

I'll try to say this so as not to offend my Def2 brethren but private plates are...err..Marmite.

Got a none age related plate many years ago when I bought an early 4 door RR classic @ 10 years old that looked like the then current model. I was much younger then! Rolling with laughter

Agree. I think the term "vanity plates" is more appropriate! Rolling with laughter

Private plate, personalised plate whichever suits.

I know they aren't everyone's forté but I was just curious to numbers of members on here really.
Nothing wrong with removing the age identifier in my book. Very Happy ____\We|Will|Win/___

don't care for having my name / initials on the number plate (just my personal choice). I prefer a plate that compliments the car ie

M3YEL - yellow bmw m3
P6COS - escort cosworth
P6PUG - 306 Peugeot
R300YEL - yellow Caterham R300

Defender has R500YEL - guess where that's destined one day (I hope) Very Happy
