F Numberplates

Sandy1903 · 11-04-2008, 11:57 AM

I am constantly looking for the right numberplate
DVLA has been putting up F prefix plates on auction lately
What do you guys think they are worth ? if anything ?
F355 and F40 seem to be premium stuff .
Is it an ideal way to finish it off ?

F 40 WOW , he he

archiegibbs · 11-04-2008, 12:15 PM

Anything with Ferrari nomenclatures will be at a premium, I always wanted F328GTS but I never found it, and if I had it would have probably cost as much as the car.

The right plate can look great on a car, but I think it needs to be car specific rather than your own name or non specific letters or numbers.

I've seen some good ones at owners shows and events, most F40's I've seen have F40??? on their plate.

The list of potentials is endless, but here are a few good ones off the top of my head.

F40HOT
F40FER
F40RED
F550MAR
F355GTS or GTB
F1 5CUD
F1 RED
...etc,etc. I'm sure you get the picture

Don't forget that your car can't pre date the plate, eg, if you have a 95 car you cant have a 2000 plate

We've had a bit of discussion about this before (BTW Sandy, not everyone on this forum is English or knows what the DVLA is).

I think, as Archie mentioned, something relating to the car is great. People who want their own name on their car, well, there is a Dutch saying that only fools and idiots write their names on walls and windows (it rhymes in Dutch). I think that's true - it's nice if you want the plate to say something about the concept, but not so nice if you want it say something you can't say or prove yourself.

I still think that 74 BB would be an awesome plate for my Boxer. It's simple, and describes the car. It also has nothing to do with me, so that should help in resale

Onno

t1fosI · 11-06-2008, 12:47 PM

I did a search for F11 CKU and it came up 'no longer available' - I even had my credit card ready

.

archiegibbs · 11-07-2008, 12:00 AM

I believe it was bought by the same person who has

C11NTS
C11NTO
F11KME
F11KYU
S111TTY
W4NKS

I think the owner is Comrade Vulcan F-40

Sandy1903 · 11-19-2008, 08:53 AM

Victory

won the auction for F355 followed by my initials
just need the car now , lol

archiegibbs · 11-19-2008, 11:35 AM

If you didn't have an incentive to get the 355, you have one now

Maranellohouse · 11-27-2008, 09:32 AM

Noticed the F Plates out but don't have a car new enough that I could put one on.
Fancied F14 T AB for the Fiat 500 Abarth I'm hopng to buy next year but because I'm in N.I I can't put it on retention over here

Have to stick to ENZO 1 on the 308 for a while yet

t1fosI · 02-17-2009, 12:10 PM

Joe A Fortner · 11-07-2011, 09:03 AM

Here's the plate on my 328. It shouuld work quite well on any Ferrari
JAF

Life is good; it's better if you're driving a Ferrari.

Boxer · 11-07-2011, 12:20 PM

I used to have BOX 365 on my 365BB

Chris58 · 12-27-2011, 11:11 AM

Having recently sold my f430 manual, which was my first Ferrari, I have retained the plate and hope to find it a good home at a sensible offer.

It's currently on Pistonheads but if anyone wants to make an offer, just pm me.

It created a great talking point as well as the car. F430 TOY works really well. Have a great new year.

tazandjan · 12-29-2011, 10:18 AM

Much easier in the States, especially someplace like New Mexico without many Ferraris. I think mine was the first 575M here. There are two now.

Admiral Goodwrench · 12-29-2011, 10:51 AM

No words necessary.

Admiral- Very appropriate.

Jimmy Chen Shiba DDS · 12-29-2011, 01:39 PM

Plates in Japan can have numbers only and not allowed to "play" accordingly. Yet, there are some who would deliberately choose arrangements to make statements.

Here with mine, 1919, in Japanese this is pronounced as "iku, iku", which can be interpreted as "coming, coming", if you know what I mean.

How silly of me because I never did this before. w/ smiles Jimmy
