Spotted in Perth (FG FPV with expensive number plate)

Sprint347 · 13-03-2009, 05:07 PM

Spotted at Belmont Forum, I wonder what these would be worth?

Sprint347 · 13-03-2009, 05:08 PM

Better still, who owns them?

MITCHAY · 13-03-2009, 05:31 PM

It would be worth a fair bit I'd imagine. Would look better with black background and white/silver font though.

Bugger the Plates.. the car.. Mmm GTE.

Iggypoppin' · 13-03-2009, 05:48 PM

couple thousand minimum? That's a plate we all want I'd imagine and something I'd display happily if it didn't cost me a house deposit.

ROFL!

I'd hazard a guess it might be owned by some bigwig from Titan Ford or McInerney Ford

Hmmm that look like it badge as GT-P as all the lettering are red while the GT-E badge had Red GT lettering while the E is Chrome. So this may be a GT-P with a bootlid spoiler from the GTE.

Got a feeling one of Perth car yard own this car!

How clever, remember that dealerships can own them too.

After a 2nd look i agree.. don't know why you would bother, unless they wanted Manual?

Coogs289 · 13-03-2009, 06:20 PM

it's definitely a gt-p badge on the back.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 13-03-2009, 06:20 PM

yeh i noticed it said GTP too which confused me a little..

it's also a bit ironic that they have the plate "FORD" on a car that has gone out of its way to not really be recognised as one (FPV badges instead of Ford on FG FPV's) but either way it's quite a plate to have.

Dennis Mc?

[Tonko] · 13-03-2009, 09:08 PM

I think my mates (on here too) dads plate would be worth more victorian ones just with GT on them.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 13-03-2009, 09:11 PM

i really don't understand why people would spend so much on a number plate. Fair enough spend on the car, but plates? Anything more than a few hundred is a rip in my opinion.

cycle myth · 13-03-2009, 09:45 PM

Yes - I'm pretty sure the answer has been given - owner of dealer McInerny Ford.

Bucknaked · 13-03-2009, 09:52 PM

In Canberra, Vehicle makes are $4,068

Also we don't pay an annual fee to keep the plates like some states do.

blueprinted_xr · 13-03-2009, 10:07 PM

yeh belongs to Dennis McInerny, last i herd he had a force 8

RSgerry · 13-03-2009, 10:12 PM

Pretty sure it is Dennis McInerney. He has had thos eplates for a while, hence the FORD on an FPV.

**Elks** · 14-03-2009, 11:29 AM

In Victoria the plates "FORD" are on a very nice traditional style, black, 32 roadster hotrod. A very worthy car.

Agree 100%... plates are only there to help the authorities identify the car, why spend money making it easier for people to identify you...?

There's a reason they're called vanity plates

DJL351 · 14-03-2009, 01:48 PM

Yes, it's D mac's car and yes it is a GTE.

I had a good look at it last Saturday before our club meeting.

**Professor Farnsworth** · 14-03-2009, 03:33 PM

why does it have a GTP badge then?

**TUF_302** · 14-03-2009, 04:00 PM

Those would be very expensive plates, if you look in a unique cars mag there are lots of plates like that for sale, some people wanting thousands and thousands for certain ones!

The picture is very deceiving.

Remember the 'E' badge is not the same style, shape or size as the GT ot GTP badges. (has already been pointed out, I know)
It is spaced away from the GT part of the badge too, the 'P' in GTP would sit much closer.

McInerny Ford's window sticker is black, the one on that car looks blue. They also have McInerny Ford number plate surrounds so I would have thought Dennis would want to advertise his place.
