Hi all,

My Mum has the above plate on her '05 Peugeot 206...and wants me to sell it for her.

I thought the best place to start was this forum...obviously the plate would be very popular with EOS owners!!

I reckon it's worth loads to the right owner.

£900 + transfer costs...and the plate is yours.

Please PM me if you're interested.

A private plate i had just once and it to much red tap to transfer it over to me so sorry not me

 

[bigrich]

£600

OK....maybe £900 is too much. £600 + costs anyone??

way off the mark I'm afraid, you can pick up an EOS plate from the dvla for 250 quid and that includes the transfer

 

[bigrich]

OK...yes you can get an 'EOS' plate from £250.......but there aren't any at DVLA that have 'E05 EOS'......

Thats brilliant if you have a stammer eos eos ha ha! what does the D stand for? this sounds like stellios the guy from easyjet and eos its sounds like a greek plate to me!

There's loads of nice ones on the dvla website cheaper than that. I must go and value my plate sometime soon

IMHO, personal registration plates are unbelievably pretentious and I'm glad they're not available in France. Having said that, I did smile a few years ago when I saw a Lamborghini Diablo with 'PEN 1S' driving through London. I like self-deprecation

Anyway, good luck with the sale

P.S. ever here the (true) story of a guy in the UK who paid £190K for an Aston Martin and then another £190K for 'A5 TON'?!!

I don't think PEN 1S was ever issued, for obvious reasons. The DVLA carefully monitor any registrations which might be deemed offensive. It was probably PEN 15, which dates from the days when people didn't make up words out of numbers and escaped; it was sold (on a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud) some years ago for quite a few thousand £s!

Saw a beautiful Bently last week with the plate '65 BUT' !

For anyone who might be interested PEN 15 was advertised For Sale yesterday in the Sunday Times - for £99,995!!!

For very rich nutters only...!

What is everyone's opinion on personalised plates then? I fancy getting something non-specific to the Eos as otherwise the plate will have to go with the car (not that I'm even considering getting rid yet!).

I love them. I've been interested in car numbers since I was a little lad (sad, I know!) and have my own.

Having said that I hate the stupid prices that are paid for them today, which are dictated by people who are not interested per se but must have one for vanity reasons. The good ones are now out of reach of ordinary mortals (I rejected A1 NEH earlier this year as seller wouldn't take my £750, wanting £1995 then reducing to £1500).

I feel badly for you folks over in the UK. Our plates are only $200 plus the annual sticker. I think mine are quite clever TOTLEOSM. My dealer thinks they're pretty sweet too!

I have one got it for £399 from the DVLA website and its SN08 EOS so it looks like SNOB EOS so named him Snobbers
