E30 private plates

[Darrenr]

Hi guys,

Im looking to put my 4lv8 Drift E30 on the road soon, ive been thinking about getting a nice plate, its on a F plate now.

Does anyone know anyone who has one for sale or best places to get a E30 related plate from?
Or if you have one for sale message me
Cheers

[peeweemad]

Go to dvla and look for E3 O-- plates, cheapest way and from what I can tell the only way at the moment as no E30 plates have been released.

Hth

[Darrenr]

Yeah ive been on Dvla theres not much of E30??? Stuff

[MurphyE30]

Theres a lot of E3 O_ _ plates available on the dvla website. All about £400 iirc

[miniblob]

As above, you need to be using the letter O, not the number 0!!!

[satan16v]

E3 OVB can be spaced to E3O VB

(flame suit on)

(flame suit on)

And that's already assigned to an e30 which belongs to a member on here

[satan16v]

[bss325i]

And E30 *** plates have been released as there is an E46 330Ci with E30 BMW on it!

[Darrenr]

[Kos]

PM "NickE30singh" as he may well sell it

You'll get a reply in about 3 weeks when he's back

[Darrenr]

Yea no doubt he will want £20000 for a plate that was £399 lol

[Kos]

Take a zero of off that figure and I'm sure it can be yours lol

[Darrenr]

Is it on that pearl dark red covertable? I can buy many nice things to twin turbo my v8 for 2k lol

[Kos]

It was on a calypso red 2 door

Well, you know where it is should you decide you want it

[Darrenr]

Yeah seen it in pbmw mag, is it yours to sell Kos how come your so sure he would sell it lol

[miniblob]

Yea no doubt he will want £20000 for a plate that was £399 lol

If anyone wants to spend that amount, E3 OXX may become available!!!

[miniblob]

Anyone know if you can reclaim a plate that was on a car that got written off some time ago???

[Kos]

Yeah seen it in pbmw mag, is it yours to sell Kos how come your so sure he would sell it lol

It's not mine to sell but I did mention it to him yesterday and that's the message I got

[Darrenr]

Tell him to get in touch with me

I think you would have to write to the dvla and see if they will release it. If it's anything good the chances are theyll put it into one of their auctions with a high reserve

[Brianmoooore]

Car doesn't loose its reg. just because it's written off, or do you mean its been officially scrapped?
Different thing altogether.

[harry_p]

I assumed written off and destroyed rather than written off with the possibility of repair, in which case, yes, the car would keep its registration until it's been officially destroyed and the registration mark could go beck in the pot as it were.

[BEERBOY123]

My mate has E30 NOBCOK5 on his 323i.

Not sure if you'd want that on your motor or not!

You'd probably look a bit of a nob-cock!!!!!

Hahahahahaha!!!!!

I think the question was more about can you transfer the plate from a written off car, which may be difficult if it was some time ago as both cars have to have MOT and tax

[Brianmoooore]

Yes, you need MOT and tax, which you won't get for a car that's officially scrapped, but I suspect many of us have cars, written off or not, that have long since ceased to physically exist, but as far as the DVLA are concerned, are just resting.
A MOT ticket is possible for one of these cars if you have suitable contacts, so a bit of tax and insurance, and a transfer can be made.
There is a discretionary exemption to the taxed and MOT'd rule for cars that have recently been written off.

[pacerpete]

Be warned , nowadays, they have a nasty habit of wanting to inspect the donor car . Especially turdz that have not got a continuous tax / mot history
