Is it not cheaper to change your name by deed poll. That way you can call yourself whatever your registration no is.

Personally the best are normal plates that make good anagrams.

Family owned a range rover once with the plate C808 UFK , just right for high society.

If you use a single donor and just the engine from the vauxhall you should still qualify for an age related plate. Axles, steering and gearbox should do it. There was a Volvo 340 round here a couple of years ago with the plate VWA 110Y (VW ALLOY) and the car sold for £350. A friend of mine had a Mk2 Escort STU 7R which he sold for £300 years ago. The bloke he sold it to sold the number straight on for £450.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I think an age related plate will do for now with my initials a personal plate wouldn't be pretty.

I don't know.

Keep practising, you'll get MU51CAL one day.

Believe it or not my "donor" cars plate has MK in it completely by chance! Ive got the car on a SWORN even though the bodys long gone crushed, hoping to keep it come reg time, thats near enough a free private plate.
Unless of course someone reckons I cant transfer it / use the points system, or its got to have 12 months MOT, tax and a full tank of fuel for that to happen
