The FORD number plate

Yes, that's right.

A beautiful black FG falcon with the number plate [ FORD ]. Can't do better than that.

Spotted in South Perth, Karoo Street yesterday. Great number plate, but hard to hide! Hard to be anonymous.

Its been on a few cars over the years, I think he or a family member also owns Holden. They used to get parked together at a small goods company in North Perth, 20 odd years ago. It was quite a sight.
They would have been part of the 'Great Plate Auction' in the mid 80's when the gov auctioned alot of historic digit plates and desirable letter combinations.

Plates would definitely be worth more than the FG it’s on though lol

I thought it was Dennis McInerney who owns those plates. Last time I saw them, they were on a black FG G6ET about 7 or 8 years ago, I was driving my Octane XR8 I bought from McInerney and he flashed/waved as we passed each other down Wellman st in Northbridge.

Hi,
Personalised plates would only be worth what someone is willing to pay for them. Probably less now than prior to GFC.

Right now someone is offering (wa) CHANEL for $10.000 on Gumtree, and someone is offering (wa) XR8FALCON for $5.000,
(wa) STAR WARS is on offer for $2.500,
(wa) I TRAIN U is on offer for $300.
(nsw) PF-000 is on offer for $ 4.999,
(wa) RANGER4X4 is on offer for $ 750,
(wa) FAT LS2 is on offer for $2.000,

I haven't won lotto yet, so I'm not going to spend on custom plates
