plates are no longer the preserve of
the rich and famous , they are now owned and cherished
by people just like you. They have changed many
times over the years since the UK vehicle registration
system began in 1903 which means that there are
so many varieties of plates in circulation there’s
bound to be one that’s just right for your
needs.
The sequence of registration plates first began
with one letter and one number eg A1 closely followed
by numbers up to 999. Then these were reversed
and more letters were added up to a maximum of
three letters and three numbers eg ABC 123 or
123 ABC. These cherished numberplates are dateless
because they were not intended to have any relation
to the age of the vehicle they were assigned to.
There are many of these still in existence and
for sale today, but they are the rarest types
of plates available and certainly not the most
popular choice of our customers, as they command
prices well into many thousands of pounds.
Much less expensive alternatives can be searched
using the number plates search systems on the
left of this page. These include Prefix plates,
Current style plates and Irish registrations starting
from as little as £99 plus vat and transfer
fees. Whilst the Irish plates are all dateless
(as they also have no age identifier in the letter
or number sequence) they can be transferred to
any age of UK registered motor vehicle, not just
those registered in Northern Ireland.
The only drawback with Irish plates could be that
they always have an I or a Z in the letter combinations
so for this reason they may not suit you. The
good news is that this isn’t the case for
the other British plates so we should have something
to suit everyone’s requirements.
You can choose your initials or a three letter
word or name to search and it’s even possible
to get some really good matches to longer names,
words and phrases. If you’re looking for
a private car registration plate for someone else,
as a gift perhaps, then you might like to visit

novice in mind so we hope it provides a useful

choose certain letter and numbering combinations
to represent names, words and phrases.
