NUMBER PLATE FACTS:For the motorist who has everything, including a sense of humour! – Reg Plate Special Cherished number plate dealer Image Registrations are offering a unique opportunity for the savvy motorist to show they have the vehicle, the reg plate and a sense of humour!
The East Yorkshire based company are marketing the ultimate reg plate to make a tongue in cheek statement.
car registration VUL 64R is offered for sale at £3395, a snip compared to the ‘phantom’ or ‘hummer’ it may well end up displayed on.
“We think this registration plate will appeal to clients who have all the toys and appreciate the fun aspect of this unique reg number plate” said Bruno Morris at Image Registrations. He went on to say “the plate reads so well as it is almost a prefect spelling of vulgar!”.
VUL 64R can be purchased now through Image Registrations, online at www.Image-Reg.com or by telephone on 01482 627 628.
It had been expected to sell for between £15,000 and £25,000 but the first Manx vehicle registration plate ever to be issued was eventually sold last week for £100,000. It is, says auctioneer Murray Keefe, a valuable piece of Manx history.
“It was the first Isle of Man number plate and people do like to have number 1. At the auction we had 4 telephone lines wanting to bid on the number plate and quite a few bidding in the room so I was not surprised it made so much money knowing that some of the plates in the United Kingdom make substantially more than that.
