What are
cherished numbers
all about?
The first
cherished numbers
system in the world began in Baden, Germany in 1896. Great Britain introduced
compulsory
cherished 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.

cherished numbers
to each car – like ships. Fortunately this wasn’t used! And the
cherished numbers

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.
Thankfully not all
cherished 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,
cherished numbers
are becoming more and more popular, as a mark of individuality and often as an
investment for the future.
