The popularity of private car registrations is growing in many ways. The number of people buying personal number plates is higher than ever before, and the prices they are paying for top examples are reaching record levels. There is simply no question that we are seeing a real boom in the appeal of cherished numbers, both as an investment and as a fun aspect to vehicle customisation.

Cherished number plates is from time to time seen as an odd choice of description for what we provide to our clients. Many people prefer the terms 'personalised registration plates' or 'personal car number plates' - but in many cases, cherished number plates (such as CAT 111E) is exactly what they are. It is not at all uncommon for clients to tell us that they have been looking for a specific cherished number plate for some time. There are certain letter and number combinations that have become almost mythical, and which would certainly not lack customers if they were ever be offered for sale again!

One of the most frequent reasons we hear for the purchase of a private registration is as a gift. At first thought it might not seem like the most obvious choice when it comes to choosing a birthday, Christmas or anniversary present, but a cherished car number plate is perfect in so many ways. How many other gifts are absolutely unique and personal, can make a personal statement about the owner, have practical benefits (such as making a car easy to spot in a crowded car park), and can offer real potential for later resale at a profit?
