Slightly OT: Could you please explain the deal with UK "private plates"? I see various moderately interesting vanity plates being advertised for sale in British car mags for lots of money.
Good luck w/sale. Midnite/Black is an uncommon and desirealble combo here in the US.

A "cherished plate" (as they call them in the UK) are completely unlike US vanity plates.
For a plate to be legal in the UK, it has to at some point have been distributed by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). You cannot just choose a plate and have it issued - instead you have to find and purchase a plate that's already been issued by the DVLA. The older the plate, the less digits it tends to have (hence shorter) - and the more expensive it tends to be... we can be talking 80, 90 or even 100 years old...

By way of update the car is not yet sold.
I logged on to a site called www.911uk.com from a friends house to post an ad on that site and had a quick look at the posts. My work web filter does not allow access to the 911uk site and I don't have a connection at home (soon to be remedied!). I discovered that a thread had been started with a link to my ad headed "Cheap 993 tt". Good publicity I thought, but reading down the thread many were suggesting that my car was so cheap there must be something wrong with it and the last post suggested the car had a dodgy\bad history. Neither of these are true.
When I bought the car I had a full PPI done at a leading independant and had a full history check. Neither of these flagged any problems. The car is priced to sell and reflects the (highish) mileage.
I find the 911uk posts very frustrating as they may impact on the sale process and unfortunately I only managed to log in and get the moderator to remove the offending posts about a week after they had been made.
The car is my pride and joy and the sale process is difficult enough without those kind of comments. Not much I can do about it now though.

Hi Phelix!
Nice to see you're still around.
I'm around the corner at Fat Face now (the HQ) as a systems engineer. My 911 days are long behind me (I own a stonking great V8 now) but I'm hoping to be back as a turbo owner.... where abouts are you these days?
