Personalize License Tag for my 2005 Jaguar XK8

Being that the largest change was between the 2002 and 2003 XK8 is makes sense that the internal model code changed but three digits. Since the 2005 received merely a restyled front bumper and grill it went up by just one digit.
I am wondering if the 1996 XJ12 was an X305 or X330 since it was LWB. Probably the former by virtue of engine.

Sure you can just include the year but anybody can get that. If you find somebody that gets the X104 then you have found a true Jaguar enthusiast.
As far as redundancy goes, why put "JAG" in it at all?

I am leaning toward these which are all a combination of 7 letters and numbers or 7 letters.
2005XK8 - People are not going to know the year and most people are not going to know the model.
2K5X104 - Year and model code
5XKX104 - Year, model and model code
XK8X104 - Model and model code
JAGX104 - Make and model code
VXKX104 - Year, model and model code
05JAGXK - Year, make and model
KOWBOIZ - I already have OES YOO and OES YOU on two other of my cars. Again oSu phonetically.

My thinking was to have a more unique plate that was not easily interpreted by the uninformed viewer.

Why would you want them to know the year? X100/103/104 can pass for much newer cars. The model is on the rear of the car. The point is avoiding redundancy.

The phonetic ones are quite a stretch. I came up with "owes you" on first read. Perhaps when said with an Oklahoma accent it works better.
If you go with KOWBOIZ then you'll have to get the obligatory 22" rims.
How about this one for a really cryptic challenge: 208520 because 2005 X 104 = 208520
Or perhaps NOTMYXJ since you have both.

I would avoid using XK without the 8 lest you offend a true XK owner.

Phonecticly:
"O" is O
"S" is ES
"U" is YOO

I actually had a similar thread a few months ago. And yes it was for my 03 XKR but I posted it in the wrong section. Nobody ever moved it, so it stayed in the x150 section. Maybe it will give you some more ideas.

I eventually went with the britishism "T ANY1", but after I submitted it, I realized "Tea 4 2" would have had an even better double meaning.
