Cherished Number Plate Information

Information about cherished number plate TET 124.

This combination was issued from 1958

This plate would have been issued by Rotherham County Borough Council (currently Sheffield).

Cherished number plates, such as TET 124, 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 exacting standards and specifications to ensure legibility and visibility. Recently the regulations pertaining to the display of DVLA registrations have become more and more exacting as the authorities attempt to combat crime and traffic offences.

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.

Flashy or decorative fonts are not permitted 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 TET 124) 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.
