• Unique Combinations:

Cherished registrations feature unique and desirable combinations of letters and numbers. These combinations can spell out names, initials, words, or significant numbers, making them easily recognisable and memorable.

• Dateless Nature:

Many cherished registrations are dateless, meaning they do not include any identifiers that reveal the vehicle's age. This characteristic enhances their appeal as they can be assigned to any vehicle, regardless of its age, without revealing the year of manufacture.

• Historical Significance:

Older registrations, particularly those issued before 1963, are often considered cherished due to their historical value. These include registrations from the early 20th century when vehicle registration first became mandatory in the UK.

• Transferability:

Cherished registrations can be transferred from one vehicle to another. This transferability allows owners to retain their personalised plates even when they change vehicles, adding to the plate's long-term value.

• Investment Value:

Cherished registrations are often seen as valuable investments. Unique and rare combinations can appreciate significantly over time, making them attractive assets for collectors and investors.

• Personalisation:

These plates offer a high degree of personalisation, allowing vehicle owners to make a statement or convey a personal message through their number plate. This aspect of customisation is a major draw for many buyers.

• Official Recognition:

The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) officially recognises and regulates cherished registrations. The DVLA allows the sale and transfer of these plates, including holding auctions for particularly desirable combinations.
