Title: How many of you have personal number plates on your vans?
Post by: Klean07 on March 10, 2010, 03:39:34 pm
Just wondered how many of you had a personal plate on your works van. Driving around these days almost every company van I see has either their company name or personal name on their number plates.

We've got a "cherished number" of low financial value - say less than £500 ish - on the family car but it doesn't represent our initials or anything.

I don't have personalised plates on my van, but thinking about it I have never seen another vehicle anywhere with the same plates that I have.  ;D

So if anyone out there sees the registration F238 HTL, it will most likely be me.

When I used to sell for a living in 1996 and used my own car it was a six year old Cavalier SRi and I considered "hiding" it's age with a personal plate so that when I drove into a company car park they wouldn't think I was driving an old shed.

But I soon realised what a daft idea that was and didn't bother. Company directors don't spend all day looking out of the window to see what car the rep turns up in!

When by chance I bought a little Rover 420GSi to replace it I bought it off of a widow who was selling her husband's "baby" and it had his personal plate on it and she wasn't bothered about keeping it and so it came with the car. We have kept it ever since and transfer it on to each car.

It's nothing special and I won't post it here cuz all my enemies will hunt me down ( ;D) and machete my family. But it's similar to A2 DGT so only worth a few hundred.

But I think it's a low level investment like like my long case clock, my edwardian dining chairs and my 30 year old motorbike all of which I can sell so I can scratch a few bob together if I need it to stop my family being put out on the streets and selling matchsticks (or worse) on the street corner! ;D

  he owner of the company I used to work for splashed out on the private plates.

  He was a Greek Cypriot, first name of Paris, so he bought himself "PAR1S", while he was at it he put "E1FEL" on the MD's car, but to top it off, his best mate was CEO and a bit of a snooker fan, so he bought him "147 MAX" as a xmas present, that is worth a few bob.

For tax purposes the plate must have your business name on not your own name. For me personaly I would sooner pay £2k for a plate than give the £2k to Mr taxman. Get my drift.

But it doesn't work like that in reality - you only save about 20% if you pay standard rate.
