Brabus do it too, starting BOT* followed by model-relevant letters.
Well, if you call that personalised - then they do exist. But they are not owned by the owner of the car and cannot be sold/traded. It's more that you can pick any free number out of the database and then you get to keep it as long as you own the car.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.

BOT stands for the city of Bottrop (close to Essen and Dortmund), you can reserve your number out of their database here (click on the data protection box and then you get to chose your plate next step). The process is more or less the same for all cities.

It was Paul. Didn't see Debbie though.
They have a similar system in Australia where you pick what you want but the less letters/numbers the more it costs and I think you then have to pay a fee every year if you want to keep it.
It is kinda mad that we Brits pay pretty big bucks for plates, but end of the day they're a tradeable commodity so it's not usually cash down the toilet. Quite the opposite for the dateless ones which should be a decent investment, certainly prices have risen considerably in the last 30 or so years since DVLA started selling them.
A mate of mine in Calgary has three letters and zero numbers on his plate, a few years ago cost him pennies like just £50* to the dept of vehicles. Seems to not be a big thing over there!
*edit
Current one-off fee is around CAD$200/GBP£120

Just took the dog out for a walk and saw an old KA with the registration N14MH D. It must belong to our old paper girl, Niamh Dennis. I know, I know, incorrectly spaced so it don’t count!Next street, an Audi OO6 1AN C. I know, I know......
On a local estate agents....
This reminds me of a Range Rover I passed a while ago , big old wheels, blacked out windows and a registration number "SPL 1 F " , now seems to be on a 448 Spider , so things must be looking up !!
I knew of a surgeon who’s private Reg was
1 CUT.
Sadly he simply became known as the man with the missing consonant

There are no personal plates in Norway but Edinburgh has some crackers. I love V10 LET, used to be S1 on an old 3 series. JWS 1 on a Landie.
You neighbour is obviously a better estate agent 😄👍That's not an estate agents plate, this is an estate agents plate!

What about this one?
Saw this one, walking to the pub last night.
It’s says what it’s meant to without miss spacing etc. Bet it cost a few quid though.

Illegally spaced and it’s W4 SFY with screws in the F to make it look like a P - tragicWhat about this one?
Not a fan of personal plates myself, but I can never see why something very distinctive would be a problem from identification purposes.
I guess it's to do with APN recognition?

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I’ve seen that on the A50 in Derbyshire a few times on my daily commute. It’s sounds incredible.

TBH I hadn’t noticed the F and screw so you’re right, it is a little tragic but, had it been a P, illegal spacing or not, I’d still consider it a good plate
Might as well just have it printed as WASPY then. Definitely not a good plate unless they’re now called WASFS
F4 ODS is available for £600... I just need the Fezza to put it on (DS are my initials).
Would love to get this for me wife but I'd get killed when she finds out what it means!
