Is it possible to reserve plates that arent released yet?

I have an idea for a plate the wont be released until the 55's come out. Anyone know if you can pre book them?

It's not PI55 OFF is it? I guess they won't release it due to its similarity to P155 OFF.

Of course, it could always be TO55 POT?

But I aint telling what it is in case someone else beats me to it

You can not put a 55 plate on your car if your car is not a 55 model

Dvla say that you can not make a car seem newer than it is, but you can make it look older

Ask before you buy

If it is a desirable number - they will only put it in the auction when the 55 numbers are released.

I know that, but I could if I waited until the 55 reg was out to buy a new car, I just want to reserve the plate!

PI55 OFF wouldnt be a '55' reg - I's aren't included :rolleyes:

To answer the question you can register interest with DVLA about plates which haven't been released yet - like i did with mine. they will phone/email/write to you when the plate is available.

bear in mind that if you do this, they know the plate is wanted - they stuck a Â£500 reserve on mine (and Â£500 at auction means about Â£750 on the car! my hammer price was Â£800 but the plate cost me Â£1100 in total

)
