Always wanted a private plate and maybe who knows I might be able to afford a nice one one day I just think the prices are crazy I know they are a investment also I guess im just jealous lol
Haven’t they always been an expensive indulgence? I remember looking at plates in the back of the telegraph or auto car when I was a kid in the 1980’s and thinking some of the best ones were the price of a great car. Shnozz said:

I actually think an expensive plate is a better investment than an expensive car. It doesn’t matter what fuel we are forced to use in whatever personal transport we use. I believe there will always be a need for a registration plate to identify it therefore they will always be relevant.

If an distinctive plate dating back to a time when plates were short because there weren't many cars on the road has been retained then apart from the transfer fees from vehicle to vehicle it won't have cost either the original person it was issued too or the current custodian anything at all.

I paid about £3k for a XXX #X format plate last year that was as close as I could get to my 5 letter (reasonably common) surname, and I thought that was a bit dear at the time!
