Am posting on behalf of a friend.
Any offers or suggestions as to who might be interested (apart from the Terzo driver with no. 333 - think his/ her car might be worth less!)
Will Subaru UK be interested ??

Kwakman,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner! I have spoken to the owner and he has informed me...
That the plate has been around for some 50+ years. His Grandfather rallied using this plate successful for God knows how many years. He has photos of every car it has been on which include;
Porsche Carrera 2.0L (believed to be only example in GB!)
Jag XK 120's and 150's
Aston Martin DB5's
Porsche 911's
Lotus Elan's
Mini Cooper S
Racing Hillclimb MGB-GT's
Bentley's...
E-Type's
The list goes on!
The rallies it has competed on include (excuse spellings!);
Rome Leige
Monte Carlo
Geneva Rally
Tulipeen Rally
Mille Miglia
All UK Rallies and so on...
He is loath to selling it but sometimes you just gotta have the cash I suppose...
Anyway, in answer to your question he doesn't want to sell the plate for less than (flame suit please...) £10000! At the end of the day, he is open to offers and only he can decide what to take for it...

Just for info (and I'm really not trying to devalue the plate, which with it's history is clearly in a different league) you can buy T333 SUB along with J, K, L, M and N which would all work on a Terzo, for £250 from the DVLA. Also may appeal to an RB5 guy owning no. 333 LOL
I ended up with a 333 WRC plate as all the 555's have already sold
Good luck on the sale, nice plate but really a specialist item.

Chuck

Yeah, I know the price is "extreme" but as mentioned, it really is a specialist item with all of the history 
Mind you, it is only worth what somoone will pay for it. I offered to clean his car for him for a year or so
Mellow Yellow - I will tell him of your offer anyway - the plate jsut doesn't belong on a VW
