dvla
had dvla inspection on tues . just heard today that my chassis number is no good and they will issue a new one !! i had already stamped my made up one
into chassis and it was good enough for every but dvla. 17 numbers/letters made from my two little girls dates of birth!! thought it was a nice
personal touch ! obviously dvla thought different.

Mine starts with L (i made mine up)which is not this country, the inspector told me where it means its from but i forgot.
If you change your chassis number it wont match your MAC anymore.
Fight for your own made number

Mine starts with H and has both o and 0 in it. They had no problem with it. It all seems a bit inconsistent.

It seems to vary from region to region.
I know that Preston do not like home made and most of the issued numbers seem to be starting SABTVR.
This is for home done chassis rather then bought in ones, if that makes any difference.

With other replies in mind i can only think that the number has already been allocated.
Ask them why the number is not acceptable.

DVLA Preston assigned me a chassis number after I had chosen my own.

Is it not the case that if the car is eligible for age related plates then a made up number is ok but if it is going the Q plate then they prefer to
issue a number? I heard that somewhere but doen't know if its an old wives tale?!
Could be useful as its a job on my Sunday list.

Neil, As you'll be going through Maidstone DVLA it doesn't matter. You can make your own chassis number. Age Related or Q Plate
doesn't matter.
Sounds like old wives tale to me.
