Private Plates..... - SHAHZ - 16-09-2019

Ive been meaning to get one for a while, just aint had the chance.......Ive seen one i like on DVLA registrations, however i just wanted to know, am i right in thinking dvla only sell the plates they have that never got registered and not plates that individuals are selling....so by looking only at the dvla site im missing out on potentially available plates?

Also, obviously illegally spacing the letters is errr illegal! and its probably inevitable that i will get pulled, but i see so many with incorrect spacing....does anyone here have illegally spaced plates and have you been pulled?

Dvla some time sell plates that have been returned to them for different reasons...

Just the person i was hoping would respond!! Have you ever had any issues with your plate spacing?

So there are still potentially more plates that are being sold by individuals or companies (reg transfers etc) that wont be listed with DVLA

Yes I been pulled once in Five years and that was returning from a meet when the police pulled me over and fined me £60
As your aware my plate is wrongly spaced but the letter read as they should.

Shahz speak with me tomorrow and i can give you a little advice on purchasing plates...:thumbup1:

Ouch, thats a tender question after castlecoombe last year :whistling:
I think Ian left the event and managed a 100 yards before getting pulled, fined and booked for his plate:thumbdown: Tottally unnessessary to be honest, but they were obviously having a slow day:Sulk:

yes, you will find a lot of companies with plates other than just DVLA... I was selling an ageless one of my audi recently.. But you will find lots of companies if you just google private regs:thumbup1:

The plate i m liking, all letters/numbers will read as they should in the correct text/font without black caps etc, its just the spacing......the plate even if spaced correctly reads what i want it to, with the exception of the last letter......becuse of this im gonna see if i can find the same plate with the last letter the same as the second to last.

Ace is looking less likely for me by the minute, if i dont make it tomorrow, ill pm ya Smile

Cheers

lol, sorry Iain mate!!

dammit, not what i wanted to hear, as theres loads of reg companies i will have to search now, lol!! and they will be more expensive then DVLA!!

Ever had any probs with your plates? Ive heard they are getting quite strict now and dont even have to give the 3 chances before plates are returned to DVLA....strange that cause the number of plates with incorrect spacing is growing from what i can see on the roads!!

I have never been pulled "yet" regards my plate and trust me, its about as illegially spaced as you can get if I am honest :whistling:

you could get away with the J being normal and closing the gap with the 3, would still read what you want!
