The term cherished number plate has traditionally been associated with classic dateless registrations Many of these number plates have often been owned by families for decades or have a high sentimental value Since the introduction of number plates in the early 1900s the desire to own a cherished number plate has grown steadily During this time the administration of car registrations has moved from the responsibility of local councils the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency DVLA which was set up in 1965

The introduction of the DVLA brought with it new rules and regulations for the sale and transfer of cherished car registrations and for the next 10 years the trade of personal number plates boomed Dealers across the country were buying old cars and motorbikes for their number plates and selling the registrations on for profit Many of the vehicles were not in working order however their registration marks could still be legally transferred
