TP27 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 It's one aggressive looking car!! At first I thought it must be stolen from the Dealership with the showroom "plates" left on it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Top plate! I thought it would end up around Edinburgh somewhere! TP - do you think it's owned by the Western/Eastern group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Likely to be one of his, yes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil330 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yeh, it sold at a DVLA auction at the end of last month for £18500!!! Hell of a lot for that plate, nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil330 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 yeh, although, would you rather have an £18500 better car?? I have been looking for a private plate for ages now, but no luck to date. I wouldnt spend that sort of money though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted November 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 If the guy who's bought it is who Mills and I think it is, money is the least of his worldly problems.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] What makes you think £18,500 was all he had left beofre he bought the plate? Chances are if he wanted an £18,500 better car he'd just buy one.

Ari Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Oh, and a chap i know has a SLK 55 AMG with his two initials plus 55 AMG (I think, or it might be ** 55 SLK). Pretty neat. (In fact he had to wait for the car so as to get a 55 plate on it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil330 Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Oh right, yeh thats cool. Well i am after a cherished registration with my initials, but there is nothing decent at all! I am only looking to spend a few thousand max really, i keep an eye out on the DVLA auction site, but there's nothing of interest on the latest one. The good thing about the DVLA auction, is that if there isn't the interest there for that particular plate, you will get it at not much more than the reserve price. I was interested in OLV 3R, and it sold for a few thousand, but regtransfers must have bought it, and are advertising it at £14995!! Hell of a mark up!

v15ben Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 So why is that plate on an SLK then and not the much more appropriate SL55AMG? Seems a bit of an odd one to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
