My plate on the 944 is "CMXLIV" - in roman numerals that's 944.
CM=900
XL=40
IV=4
If you had IXIVIV that's kind of the same but it'd be a little weird without spaces since you'd normally expect them on "units" values that are separated. It's the difference between "nine four four" and "nine hundred forty four". I suppose the MOST correct (based on the way people say the name of our cars) is "nine forty four" and the correct roman numerals to express that would be "IX XLIV", with the space as shown. Yes, I'm a bit of a freak about weird stuff like this. . .
