Just got my first car :)

Just got myself my first car in the form of a 83' dark blue 126. Now all I have to do is learn to drive  :)

Looks very smart - and quite a rare registration too. Prefix A plates are almost as rare as 126s!

Indeed quite a cool plate, I'd sort of like to get F126 BLU, to match someone with a Ferrari F40 in a similar colour to my 126.

Colours look more similar in real life

Plates4less has a good search engine for personal plates. I couldn't quickly find anything like "BLU" which would would suit, at least, not at any sensible price, but how about A 12 GXX which you can space as
A 126 XX - yours for £160 plus the cost of new plates etc.

Let's face it, who *wouldn't* like a couple of kisses from an adorable baby Fiat?

I also looked for A 12 GTK which might be more personal, but it's not listed. There are however loads of A12 Gxx plates listed at only £160, which might be of interest to others with cars of suitable age.

A 126 GT has also been taken (and be honest, who would believe you?)  :lol:
