Talk Morgan Forums Community For Sale & Wanted Wanted - MOG Registration

Does anyone have a MOG registration, needs to be for a 2006 vehicle or older, on retention that they would like to sell?

Ideally, looking for something with six digits or less - so a prefix or suffix reg.

There are a few on the DVLA site for sale, which are six digits long, but I thought I'd ask on here as well.

Please drop me a PM if you have one you'd like to part with.

Just seen a few for sale in latest Miscellany Simon.

Thank you Richard. I don’t get Miscellany but I did check the online version (March 25) and couldn’t see anything.

They are plus £2,500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Must be special plates for that price!

DVLA have six digit ones for circa £700, including assignment fee or £250 for a modern version, of which there is a wide variety and selection.

£700 not bad I paid that for my 5 digit several years ago but not MOG but a 1950's reg.

I've got a good one on retention for a 5 Speeder, but only really looks right on a MTW

My advice: save your money and don't bother.

I once popped my head above the parapet with this online survey: The word "MOG". A decade later, I haven't changed my opinion about the word but am passively tolerant. Normally!

However, I'm currently looking to change my Morgan for a newer model and have found several with "MOG plate included" ... a benefit that typically comes at a £1k-£2k premium! I intend to transfer my current dateless (and decidedly non "MOG") plate to the car I eventually buy so these MOG registered examples are not looking good value to me.

Just my opinion, of course.

Of course I respect your point of view Ian, and understand that your thinking is perhaps in relation to the history and heritage of the marque and that as such it deserves respect. On the other hand some folk like to personalise their treasured possessions by giving them names, though I must admit to having valued many machines i never felt so attached as to feel the desire to give any a name, well at least not one I could use in polite company...(-:

OK, so I admit that that I have a couple of personalised plates, only one of which I purchased and that is on the...err...Mog..(-: At the time of purchase it had a personalised plate on it which I did not want, though it`s original plate had a 1986 suffix which I thought looked a tad out of place, so i purchased a three letter three number reg, which fitted my name, without the need for any imagination...I would have really liked to have had the plate made up in pressed aluminium in black and silver to complete the pseudo Vintage look I desired....Being a law abiding sole I stuck with the unfortunate reflective plates.. I also have to admit to even contemplating replacing the dashboard with an engine turned alloy unit to add to the fakery, should I hang my head in shame...?

My old Mog is not a Vintage Bentley such as the one I followed while m/cycling, and thinking I want some of that. But being well outside my budget, I quickly came to the idea that a Morgan could fill the bill, and I am very pleased to declare that now over 20 years later it still does, I also have to admit that I even feel a degree of affection for it.... but not enough to givee it a name, even though it carries mine...(-:

As our American cousins say... Go figure.. (-:

First things first, I am going to admit breaking my own rules... (I am slapping myself on the wrist as I write this! ) because this is the one forum I've asked that we don't discuss things in; however, I'm setting that aside and signing an executive order because this is an interesting topic... which, even as I am typing this, I think we should move outside of this thread...

So here is the link so that all can have their say and we don't break the rules of the For Sale & Wanted section.
