As per the title, has anyone using them to sell a plate? I've asked them to see what they'd get for mine. AM12 NUT, if anyone's interested. Would suit enthusiasts of 12-cylinder Aston Martins. I've got something else on retention so just want rid of the old plate.

I had D8 7VV on my DB7 Vantage Volante, with a little tweaking it look great. Was offered £2200 on a private sale but dealer paid a £1500 premium and I left it on the car. It was a £299 plate from DVLA. Happy Days ……..

Result! Good plate, too.

I've bought VH12 AML for a VH-platform 12 cylinder Aston Martin Lagonda. For £250. The enthusiasts will get it at least.

£250 for a private plate is the cheapest the DVLA will sell. £250 was also the price of a rusty Ford Ka I saw yesterday with a private plate...I think the Ka was free...

Thanks for your enquiry regarding selling your number plate via Collecting Cars.

At this time the plate probably isn’t suitable for the website.

Thanks for thinking of us and we apologise that we can’t be of more assistance.

We are actively seeking car and motorcycle consignments and would be happy to discuss anything you’d like to sell.

Where else would you suggest selling it?
