It should be noted that there are no restrictions on using a vanity or cherished registration on a car that is newer than the original date of the registration plate, but it is prohibited to transfer a registration that is newer than the vehicle it is used on. This is to prevent the transfer of newer registrations to older vehicles as a measure to protect consumers.

For your protection and to ensure a fair and professional service, we are members of The Institute of Registration Agents and Dealers (MIRAD).

2010 Car Number Plates

We’re now just over a month away from the introduction of the 2010 number plate on all new cars hitting the road after the beginning of March.

While the excitement surrounding the introduction of new number plates may go over some people’s heads, during the past few years a real demand has grown for personalised plates, with some selling for an absolute fortune at auction.

Music legend Elton John’s former number plate ELT 70N recently went up for auction for just under £1,000, but that’s nothing compared to the £113,815 one crazy person (in the nicest sense) shelled out on a 1 HRH number plate auctioned by the DVLA at the beginning of 2009. And even that has some way to go to surpass £254,000 paid to take ownership of the 51 NGH plate.

You can advertise your registration number on our site for a one off payment of only £99 inc VAT. This means that we will promote your registration and professionally handle the transfer process once a buyer is located. You do not pay us any commission, we simply charge an administration fee to list your number at the start and the registration is then advertised at the figure you require until sold. If you are unsure about the market value of your number, please leave the 'Price Required' box blank and we will advise you by email of the ideal selling price.

Registration Number Auction Bidding Service. Why not let us take the strain. We can bid on your behalf upto a pre-arranged figure based on actual market values, avoiding the pitfalls of 'auction fever' and paying too much.

Our years of experience assure you of a professional service at all times. We can keep you informed during the auction by telephone so you will always know how the bidding is going.

Since their humble begining in 1903, cherished numbers have continued to increase in popularity often adding the finishing touch to our prized posessions and very often prove to be a valuable investment.
