What are
car numbers
all about?
The first
car numbers
system in the world began in Baden, Germany in 1896. Great Britain introduced
compulsory
car numbers
on 1st January 1904. A system had to be thought up to make the growing number
of car drivers accountable for their vehicles and their actions on the roads.
One of the ideas considered was to give a
car numbers
to each car – like ships. Fortunately this wasn’t used! And the
car numbers
was born.
Vehicle has had Private or Cherished Number Plates - A change of number plates could be completely innocent. Or it could be an attempt to conceal a vehicle's dubious history. A vehicle might read all clear under its new registration although it was, perhaps, written-off under its previous plates. For this reason, you need to be sure you have checked a car's history under ALL its number plates - right back to the date of first registration. A check can provide you with that information.
Registration
car numbers
were issued in Great Britain as early as August 1903, but it was in December
1903 that the London County Council issued the first London mark,
A 1, to Earl Russell.
If you are buying a number plate as a gift, why not send the certificate with a set of Acrylic Plates? Or if you are not sure what to choose, you could buy a Gift Voucher instead.
Commonly misunderstood by many,
car numbers
or
car numbers
number plates can now sell for more than the average priced house. Prestigious
numbers such as MG 1 and MS 1 are 100-year-old antiques! They are also among
the most popular initials in the country.
In December 1993 an anonymous buyer paid a staggering £235,000
for their ultimate
car numbers
‘K1 NGS’ (Kings). More astounding was the time it took the auctioneer to
achieve this figure – just over two minutes!

Thankfully not all
car numbers
are so expensive. Many start from as little as £79, plus a fee of £80 payable
to the Department of Transport on all vehicle to vehicle transfers. Love them
or hate them,
car numbers
are becoming more and more popular, as a mark of individuality and often as an
investment for the future.
