Private registrations can be a great investment, with important low number, dateless plates being the most sought-after. 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.

When choosing a personalised number plate, one must be aware that the chosen registration plate must not be newer than the vehicle it is being paired with. This is because a newer plate on an older car would give the impression that the vehicle is newer than it truly is. This applies to all registration numbers that have age-identifiers (introduced in 1963 to today). However, dateless registrations are also available. These are popular because they are succinct, extremely rare, and can be displayed on any car.

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 stylish. Theo’s enthusiasm 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.
