I'd always thought it was to avoid thieves who steal to order if they have access to DVLA records...

i.e. if you like the car, and can find out where it's registered, it's easier to nick that particular one.

Under "Suggestions" there is a good thread where many are explaining their reasons for this:

AS in ebay car ads some ownwers don't want to risk "cloning" ie some one could steal a car like yours apply for a log book, do a bank job etc.
   Does'nt bother me personally as i can prove where me or the car were @ any given time but some err on the side of caution.

For the sake of getting access to possibly an A3 Printer and A3 card.  Do the printinting and then laminate ie.




[size=24]"OOF"[/size]

If possible then just a single line as a border from each side of the weblink to frame it all.

Yeah, I could do that, only the web address is wrong.  :P

I'll look into it for newent, If I can get a load done it would be good to have group shots all with the same showplates!

Sure that someone could design one and post a link to download / email and print. Not sure about an A3 printer, might have to find someone who would do it for me. It would be nice to have the logo on as well?   :)

Anyone know the size of a number plate.  Maybe A3 not tall enouogh.

If it needs to be A2 then the likes of office worl might be worth going to.  Design an A2/3 layout with 3 number plates in landscape.  Laminate and guilotine into 3 peices.

Yeah - thinking that too. I suppose TB would be OK with it? Perhaps we should have a design competition and invite entries in the gallery thread.... oh hang on, I remember what the calendar thread turned into.  ::)
