Help finding the right private reg

I've been looking at private reg's for a while now. I think I'm going to get one, but don't want to just jump in and get the first one I see. I want to get the most suitable for a sensible price. I found my perfect number plate. It was 'LOR1 4E' - however it's priced at £12,500 which is way out of my price range, hehe. I want it to look like LORI, but I don't want to really be paying much over £500. However I would pay £1,000 for 'LOR1 4E', hehe :) I did find 'X121 LOR' for £499 which is the best I've found so far, but it doesn't look all that private.

I thought I would ask on here incase there are any expert private reg searches on here :D

Thanks, and hope you's can help me ;)
 
Mine only cost me £475 :D

There are loads on the DVLA website which are **** LOR for £250, eg N666 LOR, R500 LOR, or ones like V55 LOR for £300.

J 7ORJ or T 7ORL are £250 if you can be clever with the letters.

Or what about a plate starting LO51? If you can be clever with the screws on the plate again. :S
 
I've thought about buying a private plate loads of times, my ideal one would be CHR15 0D seeing that my name's Chris and my nickname has always been OD since school, but I think this one would be pretty expensive.

One thing you need to remember though is that you can only put a plate of equivalent age or older onto a vehicle, i.e if you have an M reg car you can only put M*** LOR or something older like L10 RII etc.

Sorry I was having a thick moment!!:doh:

Good Luck with the search anyway!

Chris.

it annoys me when people do that, they say its just for the words to look right, but what if you went through a speed camera and it didnt reconise you, its not just right. Not to mention if it were stolen, an ANRP system wouldnt pick it up...

Damn right there. I found CHR 15 on the DVLA website and it was £85,000

No doubt that one would be a similar price.
 
ive seen somthing like CU54 NDY, which i could space to have CU5 4NDY, as thats my actual name, but id have to hold it on retention till i got a 54 plate car, which really isnt anytime soon... mwahaha

You can still get M7 CRA for £1800

The plate i was tempted to get for my micra's now available - K10 AJA, but that wouldnt suit a different car if i got one! k11/ford/honda for example

29.k10aja.jpg


£700 for a piece of plastic (or whatever it is)
 
iv found the ultimate plate for a micra after M1CRA of course lol,
M 7 CRA on newreg.com for only £2,295!!!!! BARGAIN!!!!! would get it myself if i had the cash.
 
Raised from the dead........muhahahahaha.

Anyway, what I was going to say was, I spotted M1CRA yesterday on my way around the M25, heading up to Marlow. Was on a standard white K12 160 SR.

Are these searches open to the Joe public?

Or..

Not?
 
I create a nifty little workaround using a Greasemonkey script that grabs the encoded information from 247spares, sends it to my own server and decodes it in a separate frame... like so:

fancy saying that again in english? lmao
