Are there any websites which give you a valuation on private numbers? Just found out the 325i cabby is still registered with that number.

Seriously, who would actually spend anything on an Irish plate? They are one of the most council modifications you could possibly burden your car with.

My niece, Silvia, might like it for her 18th birthday early next July.

Cherished numbers not selling well at the moment, Like Mrlee says as its a Northern Ireland
plate then only a cover plate, so not worth much.
Im trying to sell one on ebay , valued at £3500, im asking £995, and not getting a sniff at it.
Keep it, as it makes the car look mysterious. Ive just put a dateless pre 1964 plate on my cab,
and already had a few comments....

I remember seeing it as a nipper when my dad was buying his M3 outside the Sytners in Nottingham. Can't remember on the car though.
It was on Top Gear actually, blue Z8 Alpina?
Was also on a 6 series at Gaydon last year IIRC.

SY7NER can't be a UK plate.
SY07NER could be, but only on a '07 or later car.
ALP117A currently resides on the Blue 6.0 B12 discussed here recently. The owner also has B12 ALP and V12 BMW - all bought from SY07NER.
A Maserati Quattroporte round the corner has G0 05 SLO and a TVR has been seen with UR 02 SLO which I like.

a private plate is only worth what the buyer is willing to pay i have 3 personal plates all bought for next to nothing a guy near me used to have p155Dff on his MR2 which I found amusing
as Boyd said SY7NER can't be a UK plate

that registration is currently on Z4 M coupe
i dont trust valuations from the likes of elite/new reg. they charge you for a valuation, when in reality you can just look at whats available for sale and make sensible calculation from there
