I have finally given in to temptation.
If I ever (highly unlikely) upgrade to an L 405 it will have to be a 4.4.
Not fitted on B.B. yet tax renewal due any day.

Nice.

My private plate was on the 1988 735i SE I bought in 1996, and I transferred it from car to car ever since.

Keep wondering about getting one with my initials on, but I like short plates, and they can get expensive.

Just waiting for the tax renewal form to arrive, then I will be able to re- tax on line, then I will swap it over on line, tell the insurance and fit the plates. MOT is also due early July, so before then.

my MOT was due on the 8th May and i have phoned twice to book and been told that i can get it done but they prefer to give service and repair work a priority...probably ring again in july/august to book as hopefully it would have quieted down by then.. ... - .- -.

They are (or might be) but I have 4 .

In my view if we have to have number plates then they may as well mean something and besides I do not wish everyone to know how old my vehicles are!!  2010 Range Rover TDV8 Baltic Blue Autobiography (2011 MY) - SOLD

Welcome to the club.

I bought my plate at a DVLA auction as an online bidder and it was very exciting. I didn’t bother with my initials or any meaning whatsoever, I just wanted a shorter plate (5 characters or less) and ideally some symmetry, which I got in the end but it cost a couple of grand including taxes. I don’t envisage selling it, but I would hope I will always be able to see it for at least what I paid for it.

When I blew my life savings and ordered my fatty it was allocated the most unattractive, unbalanced, jumbled up 69 plate you can imagine. It was at that moment I knew my extravagant bidding had all been worthwhile and the car looks fantastic with its 4 char plate in my opinion (which is all that matters!).

Plus it’s easy to remember and none of us are getting any younger.  L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

All of our cars have private plates, to disguise there age, mostly from my ex-wife. and one of them I lost in the divorce and she lost it when she sold the car on, I traced it and got it back. that really got up her hooter.

Got similar styles

M11 and M111 with the same last letters (my kids initials).
and 3 new style plates ending in MUD all with initials as the first 2 letters and 2 numbers.

Some do look tacky but each to their own. Does help to remember them as I struggle.
