Personalised plates have been on offer for many many years here & some are very well thought out … There is a premium attached though & some as you'd imagine are prohibited
Some can be rather “out there” with others configured to identify say a muscle car or it's designation … such as XU-1or GTHO-351or HG-350 & HOEY none of which are suggestive
Then there's the Plates that leave one in no doubt what its owner wishes to convey. One being the well known owner of a vibrant flouro pink Lamborghini Countach that simply says “Pussy1” in capital letters and another reads … 2 HOT4U & this one WETDRM … and SEXYGRL from WA …. btw she's a, or was a lady of dubious means that allegedly was on speed dial to some of the states …. um … city father's / members in public office … Her wheels a Mercedes sports … arse with class !!
They rarely change hands & if they do some attract considerable prices
Very early State Plates in their original colours & of good condition command top money … serious, serious thousands
Addendum:
One of my own all time favourites is … 69 HOEY … as it can be taken any way one chooses … We all know what a 69 is (I hope) & a HO … its not a Ho down …. 1 + 1
1969 was the year of the mighty GTHO Phase1 351 GT of which just 662 were produced & 50 of those were what's called Bathurst models (sold to dealer racing teams) that were fitted with long range fuel tanks & particular body markings. They (Bathurst models) now command prices north of 1 Million dollars …. originally priced just over $5,000 in road going trim, with the fire breathing Bathurst special “HOEYS” tipping out just over $6,000
