The holy VF grail has been found! ♥ When the local Toyota dealer Hell Bil were randomly assigned the 25 last plates of the VF-series and the 25 first of the VH-series, they took out an ad asking "Do you want a number you will never forget?" instead of actually advertising the cars they were selling (this was before vanity plates was a thing). The newspaper wrote an article about it back in the day.
-1: VF 99998
+1: VH 10000 belonged to a RAV4 that was scrapped in 2018 :(
First-time registration: 27.08.2008

For a modest N/A 1.6 they were quite nippy and fun to drive!

Toyota does not need advertising ;))
Do you have any issuance regulations, randomly, or is it possible to buy a license plate at an auction? Is it possible to issue beautiful numbers based on familiarity? Also, as I understand it, you don't have to change your regions, I bought a car in the south with a local code and went north without changing the number and sold it there, for example, and the new owner in the north kept the Oslo code, for example, or is it wrong?

Nordman (2025-02-28 15:57:17)Haha, that's true. No official auctions that I know of, numbers are randomly assigned, like in this case in batches of 50 to the dealer, who in turn will put them on new cars when they are sold. If you ask nicely, I guess they will let you have a look at the numbers they have available at the time. Being the nerd that I am, I got the dealer to get VX plates for my car instead of the city-correct VJ it was supposed to get, but I didn't get to choose the numbers. A car will keep it's original plates all it's life unless the plates are stolen or lost, you are generally advised to get new ones if that ever happens. If you import an older vehicle, you can get old-style plates with some freedom of choice when it comes to numbers, e.g. C-66912 for a 1966 Porsche 912. Vanity plates were introduced in 2021, they cost ~770 euros for a 10 year period and can be moved between different vehicles with the same owner.

Nordman (2025-02-28 15:57:17)Oh, and just a little addendum about vanity plates - the car they are attached to still keeps its original registration, so if you don't renew them after the 10 year period is up, it reverts to the original plates. You are also supposed to switch to the regular plates whenever traveling abroad.
