*** THE £15,000 MARINA ***

[The original northen boy]

Don't be alarmed what you have read is right,really a Morris Marina that has been sold for £15,000,it's not a ultra-rare rally car,it's not been previously owned by a film star or great sports personality,political dictator,great statesman or captain of industry,and it's not even a T.C

The car is a basic MK1,in a basic colour,in average condition,it's had half a dozen owners at least and has done well over a 100,000 miles,so what's so special about this car? simple the number plate,for those of us in the know it's a pretty good one that uses the original plate to make a name,and this it does very well,once the plates are transferred the car will be given away with a full 12 months MOT test for free to a forum member who won't be keeping it,so the next MK1 to appear on Flea-bay might be this very car.

At the moment i can't say anymore,strange but true.

Some one will end up with a good cheap car then!?

What was the Number plate which was so special?
I have always been interested in Plates and pre-reg ones etc.
I missed my big chance of having my ideal plate as it went for stupid money £13,500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I ask the guy at auction why he spent so much to get that plate, he said - Well I did not won't to pay that for it!!!!
And it says this (£$%$£$$)! I then told him - it needed two'N's' and not one to spell that which I think upset him :shock: 8)
Real shame as it was my surname with out miss spacing any numbers / letters or putting fixings in the wrong place
It now sits on a silver Merc 1.8cc saloon somewhere!
wonder if he is hard up now?

[Alan The Exocet]

I'm wondering what the plate was,must be pretty good for £15 thousand.

[Alan The Exocet]

Ok Ray,so its only one number,and would end in a J,K,L,M,N,there cant be much that end in J so here are a few more then

BIG K3N =BIG KEN
BIG L3N =BIG LEN
BIG T3N =BIG TEN
TIN 4J,TIN 4K,TIN 4L,TIN 4M,TIN 4N =TINA(J,K,L,M,N,)
EVI IL =EVIL I (think this one does really exist and is worth mega money came off a VW beetle i think originally)
BAD 43V =BAD KEV (Ok i know)
BAD 110M-BAD MOM ( " " )

Ray is there a reason you cant tell us,and what car is the plate going on?


Alan :roll:

[JBS 101S]

BIG K3N =BIG KEN
BIG L3N =BIG LEN
BIG T3N =BIG TEN
TIN 4J,TIN 4K,TIN 4L,TIN 4M,TIN 4N =TINA(J,K,L,M,N,)

IG & IN would never be used on British mainland numbers with year letters - & *EV IL & *EV 11L would need to have any letter except I, O & Z before it.
