Nice Troy!

Troy Ferriday’s dad bought him his first car when he was just 14 years old - a Mark 1 Escort, 1300 GT. It was from that moment on that his love of cars grew.

“I have owned most makes and models over the years, from a Morris Marina, when I had just passed my test, to a high-powered Chevrolet Corvette. In fact I lost count years ago of exactly how many I have owned, even then it was in excess of one hundred and fifty, thirty of which were American.”

Over the years, Troy has purchased a few cheap Irish plates to mask the age of these cars, but he never thought that one day he would have his own name on a plate. Firstly, did it even exist and secondly could he afford it?

“Thankfully I found T12 OYJ at Regtransfers.co.uk and to my surprise it was well within my budget.”

All of Troy’s friends and family admire the number plate and have often commented that it must be worth more than the actual car.

“Occasionally I have returned to my car only to find somebody standing at the front or back reading what the plate says. Needless to say this always brings a smile to my face. In fact I am so pleased with the registration that I will never part with it.”

Troy is a plumber by trade and keeps extra fit by working out regularly at my local gym. His interests outside of work are centred around his road Superbike and Trials bike and he was a motocross rider. For a number of years he also went karting at various tracks throughout England.

“As you can see I have a need for speed, hence the Subaru Impreza and thanks to Regtransfers it now has the perfect finishing touch.”
