Vanity Plates
#84
We're slightly restricted in the UK in our types of plate and the DVLA are pretty hot on ensuring that anything that could be insulting isn't on the roads
I bought my personal plate in 2006 and it cost Ł295, purely because my name is Mark and I live at no 16 and had an XK8
When filling up with propane (car was converted in 2005 and returned the equivalent of 60mpg in monetary terms) a little old lady limped up to me and asked
Q) Are you MI6 ex KGB?
A) Appreciate I was wearing a rather nice suit "Madam if I tell you I will most certainly have to kill you!"
It;s a legacy thing, I know I can buy M16 XKR for the same money but am sticking with the old one
Not that on the blue one the J had dropped off so I got a close matched SH to replace the J, was considering a union jack wrap...for all of 5 seconds

I don't have vanity plates, but the plates I was given when I transferred the Jag into my state might as well be. I chose the forum name "dangoesfast" specifically to join Jaguar forums to research my car and had never used it before, and my racing/sport number has been 83 since I started BMX at about 5 years old.
Imagine my surprise when the lady at the motor registry reaches into her stack of stock standard regular-priced plates and pulls out DGF83Z 🤯
