metcars 397 Posted January 5, 2018 Personal plates usually leave me cold but I tend to notice the odd, odd one. Today I was following a high end VW Golf with the plate "I VW" and the plates were marked with Inchape Volkswagen dealership. Happy coincidence or someone that really likes Inchape VW?

LISL 7 Posted January 6, 2018 I VW or 1 VW? I've seen the car if it's the latter, rudeboy blue R32, before that a GTD. Driven by one of the top brass at Inchcape probably. How the other half live eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelerdealer1 91 Posted January 6, 2018 I have collected about 10 -15 plates over the years all listed on eBay and not a bite, only ever sold one and that was through the terrible pistonheads site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of interest ( or probably not ),not only are company car users taxed on their availibility for potential private use and emissions etc.If their company car also carries a private number plate which is owned by their company,they should also declare it as a ‘benefit in kind’ and tax is due based on its open market valuation.I would imagine 1 VW is a valuable plate,so if you were a top rate tax payer you could be heavily penalised for having it on your company car.....On the other hand,it is probably down as a staff pool car which could technically circumvent the tax charge....
