Looking for Cheap Private Number Plates?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

If you thought private number plates were just for the likes of Alan Sugar or David Beckham, think again. Cheap private number plates are more easily available than you may have realised – at a better price than you may have imagined.

If you don’t want cheap private numbers for your vehicle, they make great presents for someone else. Equally, private number plates can also be a great investment.

If you’re after cheap number plates, there are various things you can do. If you want to drive with F1 or A1, for example, you are probably going to have to be a millionaire. But choose a letter at the front followed by 1, 2 or 3 numbers plus three letters and you have a great combination for affordable number plates

Personalised number plates from Northern Ireland can also be cheaper, at around £100 a time. Equally, some pre-1962 three-letter /three-number personalised number plates are also more affordable, at around £500.

DVLA Auction Countdown

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

There is only a few weeks remaining until the next dvla auction of personalised number plates. The auction is going to take place at the RBS F1 Conference centre in Wantage Oxfordshire. Perspective bidders need to start thinking about how to make their bids, as time to register is running out.

It is not necessary to attend the dvla auction personally to bid for a personalised number plate. There are a variety of ways to submit a bid. The auctioneers can accept telephone bids during the auction subject to available slots. You can also submit a written bid in advance of the dvla auction.

If you can’t attend the auction personally and wish to have a truly independent representation, most personalised number plate dealers offer an auction bidding service. The dealer will represent you and will bid on your behalf. Obviously there is a fee for their DVLA auction bidding service, but when you offset that against travelling time, expenses and possibly having to use your annual leave to attend yourself. The fee is likely to be good value.

Personalised Number Plates on TV

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

On Friday there was a programme on channel four that covered some personalised number plates and their owners. The documentary style story discussed some high value private registration numbers as well as covering some cheaper alternatives. The main focus of the programme was to demonstrate how sought after personalised number plates are.

There were several car registration numbers featured with the main focus being around N1 GEL owned by an Essex business man and took pride of place on his yellow lambo. The only thing that came close to this fellas, quality personalised number plate and superb car, was his “thunderbirds” style hidden garage under his drive, you have to see it, the ultimate boyz toy.

Three other Nigel’s that had private number plates, albeit they all conceded they would rather have N1 GEL. They each had to make do with personalised number plates N2 GEL that was an account referred to as Nigel 2 and AU 1 which was a gold bullion dealer in Birmingham’s famous Jewellery quarter, and BL03 JOB was a chap from Tewkesbury

The AU 1 number plate shares the alpha combination for the periodic table of elements for Gold (AU 79) and apparently featured in the James Bond film Gold finger.
