Re: [doc] Dusty's reg. no.

Paul,
There ARE a lot of restriction about what number you can put on your car,
they won't let you make it look younger, so you can't have anything later
than a W, however, there are lots of interesting one originating from
Northern Ireland such as OIL,,, GUL...AXI...SIJ...., together with any
English one's , that were originally issued before W ( first time around)
that would look nice, for instance GUI 12 is £1570, I'm still thinking
about mine.

I had a look on the DVLA website and there were loads of Xnn DMC plates
available at 250 quid. I have always been against paying for a private
plate, but at 250 GBP I thought I'd go for it. My car is AGT 754W which
doesn't make anything however the letters are arranged.

I called the DVLA and asked about the reg. The woman there told me that I
couldn't make the car look younger than it was, by putting C at the end. I
suppressed the urge to say "I don't need to make it look younger. John
DeLorean and the Stainless Steel panels did that already!"

It seems that the plate has to be in the form DMC nn(A-W) which is
considerably more expensive, apparently.

I could have got this completely wrong and maybe I dialled the wrong number
and got the local asylum. If so, please enlighten me.

Paul

Dear all,
A COMPETITION for DOC members.


I am thinking (only thinking) of putting Dusty on the road, I may be able to
"swing" a new X reg....(or Earlier) for her....now then this opens up all
sorts of possibilities about what registration number she should
have...nothing as common as the one I may be issued with..no I want
something special. I have checked out the DVLA website, and come up with the
following, possible contenders:-

G16ARO @ £999, T1MEM ( TIME M) @ £500, W12 DMC @ £400, W11 DMC
@ £900, G7ULL @£800,
G1ULL @ £999, X12 DMC @ £500,

The Following numbers will be sold at auction, W1NGD, WINGS, S7EEL,
and lastly , DUS7Y.

If any of you can come up with a good sugestion, that I eventually use, the
prize will be a drive around the Dunmurry test track in Dusty next year...or
somewhere else in England if you are not going to the Eurofest.

The only Rule is that it be a proper number, either on sale with a dealer,
or available from the DVLA.


Any one who suggests number like D1K HD, or PRA1T or similar, will have his
DOC membership fees doubled for the next few years!!!!

Come on, get your thinking caps on, remember check that its available.


Best regards
