EDIT: i didn't refresh the page before writing this reply lol

can put any private plate on a car provided its older than the car its shown on:)

i know that its just dont really seem like a personal plate

maybe meant something to the first owner but he couldnt put it on his next car because it was older or something,

my dad has an X reg plate that he transfers onto his much newer cars... to look at it it 'means' nothing to anyone but him.
