In my opinion, of the links posted, I think PAM 61 would get the most money - I would value 3 SSC, 33 DBC and WAP 55 at all under £5000 (they'd certainly get no more at a DVLA auction, where you can get things like 47 AD for £4000).
Your plate HI GHV is quite different - at a guess, and without trying to offend, I'd say £2000 tops.

I agree with everything except, H1 GHV which when correctly spaced isn't going to sell for much more than it's issue price, if that.
Bint, if it does then I'll sleep with you every night for 5 years, ike the guy who supposedly offered you 10k had in mind.

A friend of mine has NOT10N on his 911 (he's one of those forward-thinking 'new product' types who dreams up ways to make lots of money - no not the Inland Revenue) - Looks like he only paid £4100 for that - not bad if you like that kind of thing.

One of my friends wanted to get G4PEL for personal reasons, but DVLA want £1200 because they say it could be made to look like an asian name. Why should they be encouraging people to alter the correct way of displaying the reg number though-its illegal!

it's amazing how much money people have today to spend on complete non essentials. Hell, you could buy a small (actually very small ) house in France for some of those prices. When I bought my car I didn't even notice that it had a personalised plate already fitted (& the seller didn't mention it), so presumably I got it free? So how much is mine worth - it's SXI9111 (if only there was one less one...) - i was quoted £350.

As to the value, no more than £100 - Irish plates are worth sweet FA.

it was prolly pete 
just found this on a site.........Cherished number plates, personal number plates, private number plates, what is the difference? Generally nothing apart from the different styles of layout and how the public identify the different styles. Within the trade a number plate with the letters displayed as A5 ABC would be described as a "Prefix Registration" OR Prefix Number Plates. These registrations would normally be sold from £199 unless of course the letters may spell a name or a word. A5 TON was withheld for a DVLC Auction and later sold for a hammer price £61,000. K1 NGS sold for £185,000. BUT, K11 NGS sold as a normal issue for 250 pounds. With "New Style Plates" like JW55 JDW can be purchased for as little as £394. High prices can also be achievable, AR51 NEL is currently on the market for £9995.

well if H1LDA can sell for £36,29 then i am sure my H1GHV can fetch shed loads as well
i am going to watch and wait until i find the best way to sell mine. i found 80 potential buyers who want my plate or something similar and are prepared to go up to £30,000+
