JME is quite a neat abbreviation for Jamie..... Anyone on here?

That's exactly the Jamie I was thinking about when I saw the thread title, and it's a quiet popular name as well so if you don't have money in it or are not strapped for cash than £500 is a good price.

If there was A8 MAR or S8 MAR plate I would pay £500 easy so why Jamie out there wouldn't pay it

Worth a punt on ebay with it on retention already (so no more fees to pay to put it on a car) with a sensible reserve. They often sell for less than £200 - they often get re-listed for months with no takers at £250+

If you get 2 Jamie's bidding it could go higher, if 2 Jamies own S8s and both want it....

I'm on the look out for a cheapie S8 plate - don't care what letters after it, but I'm definitely in the under £200 camp with fees paid.

As ever it's very difficult to price these. Really generic S8 plates are usually priced around £150.

If the letters are reasonably plausible as matching someone's initials then maybe £200-£250 (I think mine was about £200).

After that it depends if there is some additional "meaning" enlarging the market beyond individual S8 owners, of which there are really not a lot. I've seen S8 plates on other types of car, I think there's one around here on a Volvo for example. Interpreting the 8 as a B for example can add meaning, though I'm not sure that does anything here.

My first port of call (and where I bought both my personalised plates) is Regtransfers ( https://www.regtransfers.co.uk/ ) where I note they seem to have this "on their books", though I'm not sure what that means exactly.

Good point Homer, unlikely to get under £200 including all the extras.

I really ought to have remembered that, it's not long since I shopped there!

I did rather overlook those two little words:

I'm after nice V10 reg which are clearly more expensive than S8 or A8 which I don't mind, just can't find one. Got one in mind, but I won't say yet what it is

I've never looked anywhere else than DVLA web, don't know why really.
My A8 RRU was from there as well.

As he said already he is not strapped for cash or in need to sell it quickly so keeping it for £500 until Jamie owning A8 or S8 shows up is a good idea, I would pay that if my name was Jamie, unfortunately I am not and cant find anything with MAR or MRC after S8 or V10, well there is V10 MAR but for £4,550

Good luck with the sale mate

Bare in mind that people will be off with you a bit if you haven't introduced yourself in introduction section and registered just to sell the number plate.

It was worth a try
