What are Cherished Number Plates?

The term "Cherished Number Plates" was traditionally used to describe old dateless car number plates issued prior to 1963 which have been on vehicles for many years. Nowadays the term has evolved to also include current style registrations such as DE51 ELT and is used broadly to describe highly sought after personalised number plates.

Cherished Number Plates are also a popular way of advertising companies by picking personalised plates relevant to a business or industry

Pimlico Plumbers have cherished number plates on each of their company vehicles. Each of the number plates relates to their business. The following are examples of registrations they own:

How much does a Cherished Number Plate cost ?

Well, you might be surprised to hear that owning a cherished number plate does not necessarily have to cost a fortune.

Yes, you might hear of celebrities such as Ronaldo spending hundreds of thousands of pounds personalising their cars with a cherished number plate but don't worry, you do not have to earn a footballer's wage to buy one.

There are many different types of plates to choose from to suit all budgets, big or small, so, all you have to do is work out how much you want to spend and decide what you want on your car. Don't think you just have to have your name or date of birth. More and more people are putting their favourite football team, their job role or even their pet's name on their car.
