What are
personalized plates
all about?
The first
personalized plates
system in the world began in Baden, Germany in 1896. Great Britain introduced
compulsory
personalized plates
on 1st January 1904. A system had to be thought up to make the growing number

One of the ideas considered was to give a
personalized plates

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
personalized plates
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.
