Although the term number plates is the most common term used for what we sell, it is not actually the correct definition of our main product which are vehicle registrations.
Cherished number plates, personal number plates, private number plates, what is the difference? Technically nothing. The names have been created by the general public to reflect the different orders and quantities of letters & numbers making up a registration. However cherished or personalised number plates are much more expensive as these names are given to highly desirable registrations that are usually snapped up as soon as they become available.
