Hi Guys With the imminent sale of one of my coupés, I've decided to treat the other to a private plate. I've never had one before. It's not because I want to appear 'flash', rather I think the car would have more of a timeless look without an age-related registration. I don't want to pay more than £300-£350 tops. My initials are 'MJB' and if I could get '20V' or '20VT' in there somewhere then that would be cool. If I can get it in budget that is! Alternatively something like 'Pinin' would be cool. Once I found 'P1NL1N' however it seems to have gone Can you find any good ones? Anyone selling their coupé related plate?
Coopless!

This plate is currently not available.
This may be because you've just completed the purchase or another user is in the process of purchasing this registration.

When I was looking DVLA had a few plates with ("X" 20VT) all reasonable prices unless your a coupe is an X-reg, which is pretty damn rare .. that is a no-no .. you can't put a private plate on a car to make it look younger than it actually is. (older plates are ok) I had C20VTP on my old Plus and i'm not one for personnal plates but it looked the business and hides the age.

I think Mark used "X" as a placeholder duncan, hence the use of speechmarks and the plural.

I've got M20 VTC on my mooney. M20 VTP would stand out as Mooney 20VT Plus - go for it. Oh and your alloys are looking great on mine.

Nice one John, thanks! ...Wait, that's some randomers number and this is a set-up? Damn it,you know me too well. Seriously though,i havent found anyone better on price+he sorts it all out for you with log book tax and mot for no extra charge. Make sure you haggle as well as hes always willing to knock a few shillings off the price. I got mine for £280 all in iirc,which is about the price of a tank of fuel these days.

I always use DVLA site,
Custard got K2OUP and Blueberry is K3OUP both cost £250 (before VAT increase). I wanted no more than 5 digits for a small front plate.
It's easy to do change, just buy from DVLA they send you certificate, then go to your local DVLA office with certificate, V5 and MOT and they order you new V5, print you a new MOT and give you an authority letter to put new plates on, you don't have to pay a transfer fee when bought from DVLA (not sure about other suppliers).
I bought plates as wife said the original plate "aged the car".

Steve is correct, "x" was a generic letter
