Cherished Number Plate Information

Information about cherished number plate F20 RAD.

Private registrations can be a great investment, with prestigious low number, dateless plates being the most desirable. The most expensive plate bought so far in the UK is F 1, which was purchased in February 2008 from Essex County Council by businessman, Afzal Kahn, for £440, 625. This may seem like an massive amount of money, but it should be noted that Mr Kahn’s F 1 could actually hold its value better than the Ferrari that carries it. In September, the plate S 1 was bought for &opund;404,062.50, which shows that the popularity for number plates continues.

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.

Cherished number plates is from time to time seen as an odd choice of description for what we provide to our buyers. Many people prefer the terms 'personalised registration plates' or 'personal car number plates' - but in many cases, cherished number plates (such as F20 RAD) 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 fabled, and which would certainly not lack purchasers if they were ever be offered for sale again!
