What are
personalised plates
all about?
The first
personalised plates
system in the world began in Baden, Germany in 1896. Great Britain introduced
compulsory
personalised plates
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
personalised plates
to each car – like ships. Fortunately this wasn’t used! And the
personalised plates
was born.

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

achieve this figure – just over two minutes!

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.
