![]() I swear some people see cars as merely a portable mount for number plates, whereas to me they're just bits of government bureaucracy. A few people have also told me that my 2CV has a 'nice number plate' (apparently just from the sequence/shape of the letters/numbers it was aesthetically pleasing). I've also had a non-zero number of people come up to me at car shows to enthuse over my Mini's number plate (four numbers and a letter) - "Nice plate, mate.!". My Citroen Xantia has its original 1996 dealer-fit plate on the boot and a generic modern one fitted following a car-park bump in 2017 in the modern font and my friend can't understand how I can live with it. I've had it pointed out to me when two examples were next to each other but I simply can't tell in isolation. Meanwhile I can't even reliably tell the difference between the pre- and post-2001 fonts. ![]() From private/personal plates down to fonts, I just don't care and struggle to see why I would.Ī good friend of mine with whom I otherwise share a lot of car-related opinions is one of those who will say "nice car.shame about the post-2001 font." and will buy age-correct plates, with reproduction dealer logos and so on, as virtually the first thing he does on buying a new-to-him car. I've never got why some people put such great store in number plates, either.
