Number Plates

[Absinth]

I got personalized plates (3 letters and 2 numbers) for my 21st, back then it was $150 to buy them and you then own them. They cost nothing to display and you only pay a small transfer cost when you change cars.

I also have personalized plates on my 2 utes and 1 on the van. For the 2 sandman, they are SND77 and PAN077. I think its a personal choice and not harming anybody. I agree with Absinth statement.

I have the stock first issued plates for my HZ GTS and they are exactly what will go on it. I think personalized number plates are a joke. :D

We have the original ones for the Red van too, that is what will go on it, except we still have to buy them as the van has been unregistered. Except we lost them since bringing it home...... but I am sure they will turn up at a later date.....:D

My HZ GTS hasnt been on the road for 15 - 20 years. I did register it for 3months when I brought it about 2 years ago though so it was in my name. Still registed under the same number plates. Lucky me =)

Yeahh I agree M8!! But some of us arent that lucky! I bought my Van from vic so I had no choice !!
So I think that SYN-81N , white on RED will look SICK on my Pano!!

I've already ordered the plates for my HJ Sandman....... NSW "SH-75-AG" in green and black. The green is pretty close to Jamaica Lime....... the same as the van will be. They are not much more than standard plates so who really cares.
On the other hand.... my daughters got me "CHEBBY" for my 67 Impala for fathers day 2 years ago. I'm handing them back when rego is due this year. It cost the girls $30.00 to order them...and me $480.00 p/a to have them on the car. I've since ordered as set of "out of sequence" plates for $44.00 p/a which will go on it in December.

Our kids got us RB86JB to put on our car for Xmas this year....and we have to pay $90 on top of Rego each year...I would like to take them off the family car which is a GT Falcon, and put them on the yellow Sandman when it is finished.....will leave the red van with its original plates....although Jen and Rod on each van would be cool.....:D

so you have paid $880 for the plates and you gunna hand them in with nothing but pics to show?..personally i would put them on the market for 1000 and see if they sell...and if that doesnt work...;)....didnt you loose one of those plates when you crossed a causeway after wet weather?...:twisted:

I sold my HQ van in 1984 with it's original plates (LYJ 334) intact.
The next owner surrendered the plates and fitted a personalised set.
The originals "lapsed" (VICROADS-speak) in the system for 28 years until I came along and requested that plates be re-activated for replacement on the original vehicle.

Therefore I will be able to get the van back to it's original as-new format, including the original number plates (and it only cost me $295!!)
