Unfortunately the number plate I wanted (F117LAY...Finlay) went for £2500 3 years ago....wouldn't have been able to afford it then.
However my surname, then F is only £300 inc taxes and all that lot....methinks I might be getting one soon (And as it's a letter 1-3 number job I can stick it on my '01 car fine, bear in mind that the Kn08 ones can only be put on a brand new car basically, as it's against hee law to make a car seem newer than it is IIRC)
