Wow that's a great plate...shame I haven't got Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7K laying about though...oh hang on maybe I have....ah no that's a box of maltesers

:lol:

That's great, but I couldn't warrant having a number plate that is worth more than both my E30's put together... it's just not right. Think I'll stick to what I've got...

Post Wed Mar 16, 2005 9:53 am

I dont think the owner of that plate has engaged his brain cell on this one.. No one has an e30 worth enough to warrent spending that much on a number plate for it that cant be transferred onto another car due to the
'specialist nature' of the plate..

They probably paid Ãƒ”šÃ‚£499 from the DVLA for it lol

Im holding out for them to release E30SAB... but as of yet, they have only released E1,E2,E3.....E20. Guess i gotta wait till they learn to count to 30 then, which is just aswell, coz im a tad skint at the mo.

Post Wed Mar 16, 2005 11:08 am

yea i noticed you cant get e past 20, neone know why this is, or is it just coz they cant count tht far yet

Post Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:04 pm

scott - im pretty sure you can write to DVLA to release it if it has not been yet. only downfall is it will be put into auction.

Post Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:22 pm

Yeah... that's what happened with me. I asked for D351GNS, DES19N and DES16N and they told me that they were all un-assigned and currenlty unavailable, and there was no view to ever releasing them...

Then bugger me, they pop up in separate auctions... tossers!

Post Wed Mar 16, 2005 1:26 pm

they should inform you when they go into auction. but you may be lookin at forkin out some bling

Post Wed Mar 16, 2005 3:50 pm

Nav, i dont want them to release it yet mate... i cant afford to buy it yet...so they can sit on it till i got the money as far as i care. lol

The owner of that plate paid Ãƒ”šÃ‚£999 for it. I know becuase i could have bought it. The day E plates was realesed, i got on the phone and had to hit the re-dial button for 2 hours non stop. I eventually got through and i asked about E30 BM. It was available for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£999, but i decided against buying it because you cant really put it on any other car apart from a E30 and that didn't really make good business sense to me, so i decided against buying it. I bought E4 BMW, E3 BEN & E9 BEN instead. I thought they made much better prospects of making me my millions in time :lol:

Trying to sell E30 BM for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7k is very, very optimistic in my books. Still you just never know.

My dad drives a classic shape saab 900 with a plate he inherited of his grand father, Saab - Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1500 at best : Number Plate - Ãƒ”šÃ‚£25,000 on a bad day.
Go figure. :lol:

It will be mine

Oh yes it will be mine

1 Young Git?
1 Yorkshire Gentleman,
1 Yuppie Gobshyte
the posabilities are endless!

He was offered Ãƒ”šÃ‚£30 000 for it in the early ninties when the was the boom

I'm glad you cleared that up, previous post didn't make much sense to me...

Post Thu Mar 17, 2005 12:25 pm

I'm just saying number plates can be outragously expensive and he's got it on a car worth about 10% of what the plate is worth.

Post Thu Mar 17, 2005 12:29 pm

It still doesnt warrent paying Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7k for a E30 plate though. :lol:

Post Thu Mar 17, 2005 12:35 pm

Yeah, I was getting all confused with the number, hence my pathetic attempts at the digits.

Still, Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7k for the E30 plate is just daft. Maybe a Playboy with an M3 Evo as a 'toy' amongst his Lambos and Ferraris could warrant it alongside L4MBO and 350 SPY or something... :lol:

Post Thu Mar 17, 2005 12:50 pm

DVLA sold E30 EVO for about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£2k less than the Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7k, so that sort of discounts your thoughts.

I used to have an escort rs turbo with the plae E30 TBO.........
wish i'd have saved it for my curent ride E30 325i sport...... Oh well

E30 SB for 600 quid

Unless you really love your middle name that much!

I'm sure I saw E30 BM in PMW a while ago for something like Ãƒ”šÃ‚£5k

*looks for PMW*

Can't blame him for trying though

the thing is, it's the same mobile number for ALL the ads... go figure!

Post Thu Mar 17, 2005 11:14 pm

Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7k? feck off you can get a bloody decent m3 for that!
And even at Ãƒ”šÃ‚£4k you're talking a nice sport or 320is

Post Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:22 am

You will also illigally have to space them. The actual plate is E3 OBM. Doesn't look so appealing now does it. :lol:

Go on come and buy my E4 BMW instead for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£2k :lol:

Post Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:28 am

Illegal spacing, i didn't know that officer. Thank you for pointing that one out....

Now look at my Plate E30 0K obviously it's E3 00K re spaced. Which is easier to read and or remember in event of an accident / incident?? OK i'm slightly biased here!

Or i could really take the p!ss and fiddle it to read E B00K but that would be asking for trouble from the boys in blue.

I think it depends a lot on whwer you live too mate. I've been pulled in the booty wagon a few times for my plate, but after a couple of minutes they start talking about the car, then just give me a ticking off and leave. Probably has something to do with the fact that i always tell them i've just sold the plate and i've got a different one to go on the car the following week. You just have to hope you dont run into the same officers a few weeks later :lol:
