Cherished number plates is occasionally seen as an odd choice of description for what we provide to our consumers. Many people prefer the terms 'personalised registration plates' or 'personal car number plates' - but in many cases, cherished number plates (such as R110 DRY) is exactly what they are. It is not at all atypical 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 buyers if they were ever be offered for sale again!

BBC TV’s Dragons’ Den star and businessman, Theo Paphitis, is the proud owner of several personalised number plates, including LA53 NZA and T1 HEO. These registrations, which are used for promotional purposes and to add that personal touch, are exclusive and look really smart. Theo’s passion for private number plates is evident, as he said, “A decent plate on a good car…adds to its charm and its look." Many owners of personalised plates buy for these very reason – to enhance their cars and promote their companies.

Flashy or decorative fonts are not allowed on Car Registration Plates, and only UK national flags are allowable: any other symbols, such as football team logos or religious symbols may not be displayed on private car number plates. The only variant font allowed on cherished number plates (such as R110 DRY) as an option by the regulations is a 3D version of the standard font. The size and spacing of characters on registration plates is also dictated. More information on cherished number plates character spacing is to be found elsewhere on this website.
