The new Jaguar F-Type has finally left the Birmingham factory and reports on the performance are good. The last sports car made by Jaguar was the E-Type which was made way back in 1975 so this new model has been a long time coming, greatly anticipated by Jaguar enthusiasts who are unlikely to be disappointed.

A true British classic that is still being made here in the UK. It’s estimated that over 75% will be exported overseas, predominately to the US. If you’re lucky enough to be a proud owner of one of these super 2-seater Jaguar F-Types, you may well want a head turning license plate to go with it. Look no further than Speedy Reg, we’ve got some great JAG plate. You can take your pick from 55 JAG, 75 JAG, JAG 15V, JAG 3R, JAG 64N and more! The perfect compliment for your new car. We’re sure both the car and the plate will bring you joy for many years to come! Just put the word JAG into our search engine and you’ll see some great plate options to choose from.

Are you known for being a fun loving party animal or a bit of a Victor Meldrew? Either way, you could use this to inspire your choice of personalised license plate.

If you’re always cracking a joke you could go for FUN 3Y or PUN 853.

If you’re always up for fun then there are loads of FUN plates to choose from such as TO04 FUN and P15 FUN. If you’re feeling down in the dumps then you could opt for SAD 64 or 10 SAD, or E13 BLU if you’re feeling blue. If you’re feeling more positive then how about JOY 9E, F2 JOY or JOL 3Y? If you have a crazy side then F12 MAD or MAD 11V might be perfect for you, or if you’re just downright bad, there’s still a plate for you, despite whether or not you deserve it! You can have BAD 17K or W40 BAD.

Whatever your personality and whatever your mood, there’s a huge range of plates to choose from. If you have several cars you could buy a couple of plates and pick the plate you want to take out and about depending on how you’re feeling! FUN or SAD?  MAD or BAD? The choice is yours!

The BBC recently obtained a list of the ten most expensive DVLA number plates under the Freedom of Information Act and it makes for interesting reading.

At number 1 is the plate 1 D. It’s easy to see why this sold for a massive £352,000. It’s short and so looks incredibly cool and it would be desirable for so many people. The number 1 would be preferred over any other number, and anyone whose name begins with D would love this plate and there are plenty of Davids, Debbies and Daniels out there! Coming in at number 2 is 51 NGH that sold for £254,000. This represents the name Singh, a common Asian surname, so again there would be a big market for this plate. The third most expensive plate is 1 RH selling for £247,000, again a nice short plate that would suit anyone with those initials. In fourth place is K1 NGS that sold for £231,000 and the fifth most expensive plate sold was 1 O which went for £210,000.

The sixth most expensive plate was 1 A that sold for £200,000, the seventh was 1 OO going for £197,000, the eighth 2 O selling for £142,000, the ninth 6 B went for £130,000 and finally 1 HRH sold for £113,000 perfect for a member of the Royal Family!

The DVLA, which stands for The Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency, is the organisation which is responsible for enforcing GB number plates and car registration rules. Similarly in Northern Ireland a separate body known as the DVA works in the same way.

Registration dealers such as Speedy Reg, adhere to all DVLA and DVA regulations and deal with them directly so it is always best to purchase your choice of registration through a reputable company like Speedy Reg to ensure that everything is legal and above board.

If there is a number plate you have always wanted but are unsure about whether you can place the number on your vehicle or if perhaps there may be restrictions why not give the team at Speedy Reg a call. They will talk you through the process involved and answer any questions you may have. It really couldn’t be easier to get the personalised registration you have always wanted.

If you’re looking for a cheap personalised plate you can choose from literally millions of DVLA number plates. There are two different styles of DVLA plate available. Current or new style, and classic style.

Current style plates have two letters, followed by a two number date identifier then three more letters. You can have any combination as long as it is not already registered to someone else, so you’ve got plenty of combinations to choose from. These plates have been issued since September 2001.

Classic style plates are a little different. They have the date identifier at the beginning of the plate,  so the format is a letter, one or two numbers (from 1 to 20), then three letters. These classic plates were issued from 1983 to August 2001.

When it comes to the two digits that represent the year, you can choose a number that shows your car to be the age it is, or older, but you can’t pick a date that makes your car look newer than it actually is, so bear this in mind when you’re searching for your DVLA plate.

These DVLA plates represent great value for money. Buying a plate is a simple process, you can have your new plates on your car within a matter of just a few days.

A recent government debate on how to clamp down on speeding and car crime has led to the decision that from 2020 cars will be issued with bar codes and a new speed camera laser system is to be set up, which will simply scan the offender’s registration plate and will immediately be linked to a data base which will give police full details of their address, phone number etc.

The government are sure that this new measure will deter road crime and speeding as it will be designed to have immediate results in terms of linking to the perpetrator to the crime.  When scanned the plates will reveal a lot more information in a quicker period of time therefore giving police a lot more information to proceed with.

Critics have argued that this will make identification difficult to witnesses from a public point of view, however authorities have insisted there will still be a need to print a legible alphanumeric sequence underneath the bar code so that members of the public can still report dangerous driving etc to the authorities.

Speedy Reg don’t think this is one of the governments best ideas however it may work in terms of speed of linking motoring crimes to the perpetrator however what will the public make of this decision?

Fans of the hit American comedy series ‘The Big Bang Theory’ will recognise actress Mayim Bialik for her role as Dr Amy Farrah Fowler. The character who is a fairly recent edition to the cult TV series has made quite an impact to the show and in a way has given science nerds a new found respect.

Many of you will be wondering where you recognise the actress from, as she certainly has one of those recognisable faces, and you will be interested to know that she appeared as the young Bette Midler or character ‘Cici Bloom’ in the 1989 hit film ‘Beaches’. She also starred in popular American sitcom ‘Blossom’ in the early 1990′s but until ‘The Big Bang Theory’ she had not done any serious acting, instead choosing to concentrate on her education.

Like her character Amy, Mayim also has a strong interest in science and holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and is a spokesperson for ‘The Holistic Moms Network’. She has also written several books on motherhood and science.

Mayim’s ‘Big Bang Theory’ character Amy isn’t really into fashion, or looking good on the street so we don’t imagine that she would be interested in the AMY 1F number plate. However if your name is Amy Ferguson, Amy Fawcett or Amy Fyfe why not get in contact with Speedy Reg today for this one of a kind Private Number Plate?

If your name is Debbie or Deborah and you own a  Porsche Boxter Spyder or a BMW Boxter Speedy Reg have got the perfect personalised registration for you, DEB 580X (which looks like Deb’s Box). Not only will this look perfect on your vehicle and help you stand out from the crowd even more but the added bonus is that this registration will hold its value and in fact more than likely be worth more in years to come.

The team at Speedy Reg believe that to complete the look of a flash car you definitely need to own a private number plate as the ultimate accessory. A flash car really doesn’t look complete without one. So if your name is Debbie and you own a Boxter then what are you waiting for? Your dream number plate is just a click away.
