A private plate add personality to a car.

Also makes the car seem more attached to the owner.

If I could only find another half decent Jag to join J44, I`d be adding the next plate in the series to the acquisition. Two consecutive or near matching plates would be fun.

I transferred my private plate from my X type to my XKR and it still makes people smile, or even laugh out loud, but that's why I bought it. :lol:
