Word of warning.

When part exchanging your car or Motorhome with one, retain it yourself!

Michelle and myself have matching cars, Mine an A4 Avant Black edition.

Michelle's an A3 red top cabriolet

Both in white both with very similar personal plates,

Example

A123 ABC and A123 DEC

Mine the dealer lost when I purchased my car in June.

World of DVLA pain trying to get it back!

Today's effort failed.

Very disappointed to say the least.

well i remember in the 60's in the Paul Raymond era, there was a nice young lady, Fiona, used to drive around Soho in a very flash car with the plate FU2 , now that might just boost my ego, which i think a lot of this is, but as i am not likely to find or be able to afford such a plate i will not be buying one

I didn't have to do a thing, the dealer said I will sort out the number transfered and when I went to pick the car up it had my number on it and as I was able to park old and new next to on another with both displaying the same number for a photo.

Ours at the dealers but this number is now on a certificate and we have a different one.

can anybody explain to me why you need personal plates, never had them, never seen the need to have them and from my perspective they only draw added attention to your vehicle. judging by all the above who would want all the hassle just to prove what ???

I've always had ' personal plates ' Rufs -- as you would soon discover if you try eating at my table !!
