If ever there’s been a time to choose personalised number plates, or private number plates, it’s now. There are more cars on the road now than ever before and everyone wants to stand out from the crowd. Rather than add fluffy dice or a large spoiler that may potentially “spoil” the look of the car, more and more people are choosing to display personalised number plates of their choice.
There are a few different types of registrations available.
- Current style registrations – consists of two letters, a two-figure age identifier, a space and then finally three letters – AB51 ABC
- Prefix registrations – those that contain the year identifier at the beginning of a registration. They consist of a letter, one to three numbers, a space and then finally three letters – A123 ABC
- Suffix registrations – those that contain the year identifier at the end of a registration. They consist of three letters, a space, one to three numbers, and then finally one letter – ABC 123A
- Dateless registrations – do not contain a year identifier and can consist of a number combination followed by a letter combination and vice versa. There is a space between the number and the group of letters – 1 ABC or ABC 1
The DVLA in Swansea hold auctions regularly throughout the year, where previously unreleased registrations are up for sale. We at Platinum Plates can act at all auctions of DVLA number plates on behalf of customers and can secure the dream number plates of their choice.
