Took my 156 in today for new rear shocks and I have a beautiful Brera courtesy car. Reg is T5 -OX, and although a great looking car, the reg is actually the best part of the car as it's a petrol with 205k on the clock. I've asked the Alfa guy how much he wants for the reg, as I want it for my C70 T5. If the ending had been COX, then it would have been worth a fortune and my surname, so I think it's probably only worth £250 or so with the 3rd to last letter that it has got.
What do you think I should offer him?

If it's T5 BOX (especially going on a Volvo) then it's probably worth even more :lol:
I don't think anyone can value it without the last letter unfortunately.
You can use a number plate website to guage the price with something very similar?

The letter is between T and X, and looking on the DVLA website, I think it's just a £250 plate.

T5 BOX would actually be a great plate!
Sounds like you're right, don't forget to factor in transfer fee's both sides

Yeah it would, for a Volvo estate driver, or a cardboard box salesman, in a T5. I'm surprised that nobody has said that £250 would also buy the car!!:)

There are only T5 AOX, EOX, HOX,UOX and WOX still available for £250.

T5 OX aint a bad plate mark, all the good ones are taken! I was looking at T5 OG but looks and sounds chavish to me lol. The best plate i had was C70 MV but let it go with the car:-(

I would have thought that would be on a VW transporte T5 by now.

So the Brera has gone and I have my 156 back, and I have this pic:-
I still intend to do a deal for the reg and will let you know if I manage to get it.

Yeah, but the garage said it was a 2.2, but the DVLA say it's a 2959cc car?
Post 762821 by AcidicDavey on 2015-03-07 22:31:39
Did you lift the bonnet??
Yeah it'd be a 2.2 JTS or a 3.2 V6, there wasn't a 3.0 Brera.
2959cc is a 3.0 Busso like in mine!

No, I didn't lift the bonnet. I didn't think there was a 3.0 in the Brera, so I presume she was a 2.2. Didn't really put my foot down cos the wheel bearing noise was pretty horrific above 50. DVLA also have her down as being black, but with the vinyl wrapping, she isn't..............
