Cherished Number Plate Information

Information about cherished number plate P111 LGH.

This registration was first made available on the 01 August 1996 and is currently for sale on the www.Regtransfers.co.uk website!

Cherished number plates, such as P111 LGH, consist of a string of letters and numbers which provide a unique identifying mark for each vehicle licensed to use the roads in the United Kingdom. The number plates used to display this identifying registration number have to conform to strict standards and specifications to ensure legibility and visibility. Recently the regulations pertaining to the display of DVLA registrations have become more and more stringent as the authorities attempt to combat crime and traffic offences.

As crime increases, it is now more important than ever to display easily distinguishable number plates. All car registrations must use the standard ‘Charles Wright 2001’ font and, apart from the options of a 3-D effect on the typeface and a non-reflective, coloured border, no alterations to plates are permitted in the UK. This includes the addition of logos or sporting emblems, as well as the misrepresentation or incorrect spacing of characters – these are all illegal.

One may choose to display a plate that depicts a name, a favourite hobby or a word that can be associated with one’s job. There are several celebrity examples of this. Sir Alan Sugar owns the highly prestigious registration, AMS 1, which contains his initials, while Linda Lusardi owns LU54 RDY. On the other hand, celebrity chef and TV host, James Martin, chooses to display 6 HEF (chef), which refers to his hobby and profession, while professional boxer, Amir Khan, owns the ideal plate for him: BOX 111G.
