My dad recently asked me to selling the number plate he has had for a couple of years. It is one that would appeal specifically to Porsche Boxster owners, as it is simply [ 987S ] which is the model number of the latest Boxster.

Anyway, I was wondering what the best method to sell this plate would be. If I were to believe some of the number plate websites, I should be able to get quite a bit of money for it, but I don't know how to go about doing so.

We also have 986S, but he currently uses that on his actual car, and probably wouldn't be too keen to part with it.

Any suggestions would be welcome!

There's often stuff listed in the weekend newspapers which gets excellent exposure.. I think its fairly expensive to list there in comparison to anything online, but if you're selling the plates for $10k....

I know the RTA and I think some insurance companies have a certain day a year where they sell rare and special numberplates.

I would maybe ring up the RTA or shannons insurance. They might be able to help you out.

first you need a screw driver.....

edit: sorry, i read it as steal :glare:

i haven't really seen any number plates actually sell other than the ones at the auctions, and they usually have some kind of historical significance (like, the ex-G.G. had the plates like [G1] or something like that, and sold for around $150k.

maybe try the porsche forums if there is one.

ebay? let the people decide how much its worth.

i don't get people who sell numberplates for more than they're worth either... but hey, if there wasn't an idiot somewhere willing to buy em, no one would sell em.

Pertinent question, I was thinking about this today!

On a similar note, are you allowed to sell a plate which has a company name associated with it? e.g. My cousin has "FOXTEL" which he's had for many years and now wants to sell it. I know he could probably get away with it, but is there like a trademark thing to be aware of like domain names? Saw an old Commodore the other day with "GOOGLE" on it too.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
