Does the Netherlands have personalized plates? I thought, it was never possible, but two days ago I saw 88 GGG 8 on a brend new Renault Megane Cabriolet. A coincidence? I don't think so.

Does the numbers of the Orkney Islands starts with O.? Today I say a Volvo V 70 XC with a British plate, beginning with OE. The small flag in the blue Euro-part was a Scottish one.
Under the current system, the area codes OA to OY all belong to Oxford. All Scottish area codes begin with S.

...even the "national" symbol of the Isle of Man you can sometimes see in the UK.The Isle of Man is a Crown dependency, like each of the Channel Islands, and has its own registraton system. The Manx triskelion symbol appears on new Isle of Man plates but I'm sure it wouldn't be allowed on British plates, because it would give the impression that the car was registered in the Isle of Man.

Are you kidding? You don't mean 6.20 Euros do you? Here it is only 30 extra dollars to get those plates! (approx. 20 Euro). For the price they charge over there, you could buy a whole car!
No, I mean 620.
A normal registration is something like 50 € if I remember well.
Some special plates in UK were sold for very high prices, much higher than that.

By the way: the new European plates have on the left side a blue Euro-space. There is shown the star-ring, the EU-symbol and underneath the country-letter (D for Germany, NL for Netherlands, PL for Poland and so on).
In Britain it's a bit different. There you can choose between the Euro-stars (very rarely to see), the Union Jack (as G-Mann has in the database, too), the English St.George's Cross (as chris40 and stronghold have), also the Scottish St.Andrew's Cross is available (the majority of Scottish cars have them today). Also the lion from Wales you can choose, even the "national" symbol of the Isle of Man you can sometimes see in the UK.

In Auustralia, you can swap the car regostration plate. Expensive. Custom plates are often swapped.
