Get another one made up to look normal for the MOT and then once done change back...just hope DVLA/VOSA/Police don't pull you over as it is hard for their equipment to read it...
Nice though!!
Don't have to worry about pulling him over once they take a photo the contact details are all there.

Private reg's on business vehicles always makes me think "I wont bother using them".....!
My opinion is that they must be charging too much! I have never ever seen the appeal in private reg plates though.
But good luck to you, and the double meaning is pretty cool!

Doubting Thomas!

Totally illegal plate, unless the coppers around your way have no time for motoring offences, get your debit card ready for the fine to start rolling in. It's a commercial vehicle, that will not only result in being pulled by the Plod, but VOSA and HMRC will be looking to test your fuel and all other road safety and legislative requirements.
If you think I am joking, pop into your local plod station and seek advise. A mate of mine was stopped every other day for a fortnight, fined every time until around the fifth/sixth time they impounded the van until he came back with legal plates, spacing, BS number and plate maker Identity clearly showing.
Nice plate, but is it really that important to suffer the hassles? What is the difference between F1 JSE and F1JSE?? The eye sees it the same regardless but it stops the plod being a pain.

iv'e been done twice for mine now lol, what they have started doing now is reporting it to dvla and dvla send you a form out you have to fill in and attach photographic evidence of legal front and back plates fitted to the vehicle, if you don't you loose the plate, and even if you try being clever and getting some legal ones put on then swaping back to the illegal ones after and get caught again you loose it, wife as a private plate on hers and she as been pulled twice and didn't even get done for it they just told her to get them changed, she must of offered them favours lol

FFS - we should all drive around in rusty old Ducatos with Romanian plates to keep the customers happy? - get real.
Nice plate - have one too but dont do the dodgy spacing, cannot be doing with the hassle.

very smart looking.
as for all the people saying private plates are bad though - i was bought 'E16 CAL' a few years ago as a present - Cal for calum, E16 just because. now on my van people read it as EL CAL (its not, its a standard numberplate) as the van says electrical on it and people see it as the same, but for people who know me its still Cal. the business looks more proffesional, many customers say it looks good and like it. and besides, customers understand you work to earn a living and out of your living you buy stuff, whether its tools, toys or food it doesnt matter to them and a private plate is a personal luxury that you arent charging customers for you buy out of what money you have left, and some cases, dont buy at all.

I must have missed the part of my post where I was racist and obnoxious but nice reply anyway.
It is a discussion forum after all.

Hi Calum
not bad , the best personalised plates I remember seeing were "L1MBS" (on a orthopaedic surgeons' Scooby) and a black Porsche 911 turbo had the plate "B1CEP"
i liked them. I am in the 35-54 age bracket (grumpy old man) so tend to pick fault/ grump at things! But have just been on holiday so can see the light hearted nature :sifone:
