Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks to all those who gave sensible answers.

If the plate is worth £3-4k to your wife then offer that for the car, then put the car in a classic car auction and any money back is a bonus. If they still won't move on price pay if your happy to and any money back at auction will get you back towards your £3-4k hopefully your wife gets what she ...

When I sold my 55 back in 1986 I was gutted when I saw that the buyer had sold the plate. I don't understand the appeal of a personalized plate, unless you are allocated at random for free and it has significance. I knew someone who got their initials by chance! My last car, a Celica GT-Four cost l...

Wifey's full initials.

I found private plates a complete pain in the a.se and convinced my wife to give up the idea 20 odd years ago. I believe they may be a bit easier to transfer these days. Shame to rob a car of its identity though, my old saloon had 'FD' in its original reg number. Last I heard it was on a flash spor...

..............was toying with that idea, but I work away too much now......and when I'm home it's kids time not meddling with cars anymore. Had a Minor back in 76, only for 3 months though. No, her majesty wants that plate, and if the car can be sold on for the difference all is good.

The pictures show nothing. It's on a local cars for sale site. Claims original interior, but the (Phone) photos only show the front seats.....different colours! Claims recent respray. 11 months MoT. To the wife, the plate is perhaps worth £3000 to £4000 , judging by similar on *plates4less* etc. So ...

Thanks. It would still make the car pretty worthless?

Gentlemen (And Ladies!) My good lady has seen a Minor, but.......and I know this forum will now cringe.......she wants the number plate only. It is a running vehicle with 11 months MoT. Her grand idea is to keep the plate and immediately sell the car on for face value. To which I said that without t...
