Personalized license plate (Germany)

[simonpa]

IG 7    is available here in UK .............. BUT ......... and are you sitting down - the cost is £35000.00.

I was interested ............................ then common sense kicked in.

 

[rovie]

Well, the grenadier is definitely worth it.
The last time I was in Upper Slaughter, I saw an Aston Martin DB5 with the registration number DB5. This one was certainly more expensive.?

IG 1 to IG 6 have probably been reserved by Sir Jim himself.

But BIG is great!  ?[/QUOTE]

Not in Berlin, I fear to look pretentious and beeing mobbed with a car of this size and with such a numberplate. The Anti-SUV fraction in this town and my quarter is hard boiled, they spray grafitti on cars and even light them up. Don‘t want to provoke them.

Yes, I know about the democratic attitude of these criminals, not only in Berlin but all over Germany. So I have no doubts you're right.

I anyway find it great (the B-IG plate) .

Same in Cologne and obviously elswhere in Germany. It is terrifying and outrageous how other people's property is treated. ?

If you don't want B-IG for explained reasons - considering the shape of the vehicle, you could also use B-OX.  ?

No idea. Please tell us ...

Nice! I had thought about TRUDFR.

If i would live in Ingolstadt I would just take

IN EO 500

so if anybody is from that Region of Germany better be quick.

 

[rovie]

I don't think there's any rush here. There won't be that many people in Ingolstadt who buy a Grenadier. We will already attract attention on the streets with these vehicles.

 

[McPharmer]

if I would live in Ansbach my favourite license plate would be
AN-AL 69
Because this car is awesome?

 

[emax]

You would probably not get this plate.

Here in Germany, even number plates are considered political, so number plates containing 'SS' or 'KZ' (and some others) are forbidden.  I wouldn't be surprised if moral license plates were introduced as well.

Unless they're maybe 'G-AY', 'LG-BT' or something like that, which is what they're currently trying to establish as normality here.

 

[McPharmer]

As a matter of fact there was a motorbike with that license plate, reported by "Motorrad" in the early 90ties.

 

[emax]

So it even was in the press.
Considering that this was in the early 90ties, I wouldn't really wonder if it would be blocked nowadays. ?

I talked to an INEOS Grenadier product manager and asked him for his opinion on which letters on the number plate we should agree on in the community in Germany. The vehicles in Germany so far have IA (INEOS Automotive). One of the first Grenadiers in England had IG 0001.
The product manager said, that they had already discussed the issue internally. He would choose IG. That is what I am doing now. I am in the process of reserving licence plates at the registration office.

It's common here in Germany, that Porsches have a '911' or '996' as the number on the right and such things. A 1960 VW Bus T1 from Frankurt will thus likely have something like 'F-T 1' or so.

But more often we have number plates with the initials of the name or the year of birth as the number, or day and month of birth or both.

As the first letters on the left are an abbreviation for your district, and our district is 'Dieburg' and thus has the letters 'DI', I decided for the number plate of my Diesel motorbike to be 'DI-SL 15' where '15' was the year I bought it.

For my Grenadier, I will be the driver. More personalisation is not possible.
