my first motability car the dealer offered me a list of about 10 that he had been allocated but thats the only time. i had a personal plate a few years ago but i had to source that myself from dvla. i had to compromise as the one i would have liked went for 20k at a dvla auction. but i did get mg 04 kjm for a mgzt i had back in 2004. its still around somewhere.obviously my initials are kjm. lol. that was abou £300 all in. not including the car.
