' Vanity plates ', what a quaint term that is !

They are known as personalised plates here and they cost a bloody fortune . Vicroads were issuing copies of period style plates for a while e.g., you could order a set of the 1939-1953 style plates and nominate what reg . number you wanted . These plates had the VIC vertically down the LH side . But, they were slightly different to the originals , not an exact copy .

You can sell/buy personalised plates here and you see ridiculous prices , in the thousands . Stuff like GMH 000 etc. or FJ 1953 , I think somebody has got BLITZ already , on a CMP . Jeep42 is another one I've seen . You can get ham radio calls now too .
