Does it represent something, all I can work out is possibly tiger?Plates are a funny game as they can mean so much to one person but nothing to another, its a chance game that's a plate someone has been looking for and they have some decent money to have it.

Not a sniff its worth £750 soz I had a EVO number plate, had all sorts of sill valuations off big companys  Ending up selling for under £400. You might be lucky and get the same price DVLA charge for a plate like yours £250. ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

 private number plates are for idiots that love themselves too much, would rather spend it on the car than some superficial pile of crap.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

why have a plate with a load of random letters and numbers when you can have your name or similar. I love my Mayhew number plate. Based on value i Dont think that tiger plate if thats what it is is worth much. Maybe £150. I don't think J4MES is worth £50k but someone Will or has brought it around that value.________________________________________ JAMMA "M44YHW" MAYHEWLOSE WEIGHT NOW - ASK ME HOW - NUTRI-FIX GTi6 LPG, The best of both worlds! 2006: 1997 R reg 306 1.4 Miami - Diablo Red - DEAD 2007: 1999 V reg 306 1.4 Meridian - Diablo Red - SOLD 2007-09: 1998 S reg 306 GTi6 - Diablo Red - DEAD 2009-10: 1998 R reg Corsa 1.2 - Blue - SOLD 2010-13: 2001 Y reg 306 GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red - DEAD 2013 - 2013: 2000 X reg GTi6 LPG - Moonstone Blue - DEAD 2013 - current: 2001 X reg GTi6 LPG - Diablo Red ]FOR SALE[/b] "I LIVE FOR THE 306" |

couple people said it looked like Matthew when passing. Not sure on that one as it has a y in the middle. A plate to me is for the owner.

You'd be surprised what people use to make something slightly represent something else. Y for a T is perfectly plausible and you can see why they thought that.It's almost as if it HAS to mean Matthew to someone who knows no better as the mind isn't going to think ah it's perhaps Mary or Martin. Mayhew isn't a common name which doesn't help the confusion. ________________________________________ |
