My apologies.

GM UTE - Sold (nearly as good as my plate!!)
So there you go – I was surprised there were a couple of really good ones left - thanks for the tip - I have just bought them.
I think sometimes people under estimate the value of a good plate on a nice vehicle - I see cars everyday that people have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on restoring but do not finish it off by putting a nice plate on it - even a personalised one at $395 - not much money in the scheme of things.
I also have a 2003 CV8 Monaro - and yes, I have a Prestige Plate on it - GMH CV8 – on $70,000 motor car - what's another couple of grand?
I have had offers of between $7,000 and $12,000 for this plate - but it will go with the car when I sell it.
So it is not to hard to imagine that my GMH UTE plate (which can go any Holden Ute) might just be worth some reasonable $$$.
There are heaps of people out there with plenty of bucks driving pretty nice utes and I would be most surprised if I couldn't sell it.
As a long time Holden enthusiast I just thought I'd give first option to any member of the Queensland FE FC Club who might be interested in making a reasonable offer.
Anyway hope this info helps.
Best regards to all who replied.
