Purchase Cherished number plates Plates for sale such as AB 2367, MW 9 are classic examples of this type of registration. As they are significantly older (and some can be over 100 years old now) , these car registrations have a much higher market value than the usual prefix, suffix or new style number plates that are common place on today's busy roads.

In fact, the most expensive private plates that have been sold over the last 10 years have virtually all been of the cherished number plates style. Number plates such as F 1, M 1 and S 1 have made well over £300, 000 and The Private Plate Company themselves sold B1 for over £200, 000 back in 2006. As you can see, cherished number plates have been exceptional investments over recent years. You can find many thousands of these dateless number plates on our website in the DVLA auction results sections.

Buy Private Number Plates Private Number plates have grown in popularity and value over the last 2 decades and with the introduction of the select registrations series by the DVLA it is now much more affordable and there are now less snobs and many more private number plate enthusiasts on our roads. We currently have over 40 million car registrations available for sale on our site that can be purchased securely online or over the phone. We are here to help if you are undecided on what type of registration numbers you are looking to buy. Call us on 01639 888833.
Purchase a personalised number plate Personalised Number Plates allow an individual to choose their own form of personalisation for their vehicle. Generally speaking when you buy a car or motorcycle or any vehicle for that matter, the registration numbers allocated by the DVLA will be non-descript and quite boring although it will be exclusive by virtue of the fact that everyone must display a different registration plate on their vehicle.

The Private Plate Company is one of the UK's leading Car Registrations dealers. It all started in 1993 when I was interested in buying a private number plate. That plate was MJD 611. Now, all these years later, The Private Plate Company sell around 4,000 private number plates a year and I managed to pick up "1 MJD" along the way.

The service I received was good and the speeded up extra price paid to hurry things through worked well! I intend to make another purchase within a week or so because of the overall experience I received

I recently purchased my new plate from this company,they dealt with the paperwork (DVLA) etc the plate arrived quicker then I thought. Friendly efficient service I couldn’t be happier with how they dealt with it.

This was the first time using this company, so wasn't to sure what to expect. I needn't to have worried. Excellent service from start to finish
And the extra of £25.00 to transfer plate to your vehicle is well worth it.
Saves you all time and hassle

Very good experience, had never done the personalised plate thing before so didn't really know how it would go but the whole experience was really quite simple and smooth. Ordered the plate I liked and paid the slight extra for the transfer service, followed the simple steps and sent my now old reg certificate to the address provided and in just the short space of around a week everything was done, new plates arrived and fitted on car and the records updated all fine with my new reg certificate also arriving very shortly after.

Overall a great experience using The Private Plate Company. There's another plate I like for one of my other cars so if I decide to go for it I'll be doing it through here again.

I wouldnt buy a pint of milk from this company the manager is rude talks to you like a 10 year old as for paperwork told will be 2 days still aint received it they dont phone you back. i also asked them to sell my old private plate on there site no contact from them to say was all done so gone else where there a joke with no respect for there customers will never use them again stay clear they is alot better companys out there who are alot quicker and cheaper dealing with your private plates.

I dont find anything to hard to understand but i know when im being lied to and spoke to like a kid and being charged for things that you dont deliver your a total cowboy of a company.

I ordered my number plate in December and then decided I needed to change it, so emailed and received a response instantly confirming the change. I sent my logbook off and within a day received was advised the transfer was done and I could put my new plates on. First class service and I love my plates. Highly recommend this company.

Called me today would not disclose where they were calling from until i confirmed my name.strange behaviour. I then googled their number to find out myself who was calling me don't know why they wouldn't just confirm where they were calling from. The caller then wanted to confirm my number plate R1HLN was still available which I responded yes i asked if an offer had been made he said no so the entire conversation at this point was pretty pointless he said he was willing to offer it to one of his customers but he couldn't remember the price so yet again I had to look for countless emails when I overvalued it he suddenly remembered overall attitude was poor Could of just called like any other caller does disclosed where he was calling from and told me the purpose of his call instead made everything overly difficult so would rather keep/sell the plate somewhere else I am also looking to buy a new number plate but based on this interaction with this company I would buy elsewhere I own several plates but this wouldn't be somewhere I would consider using to sell my plates unprofessional

Dealing with PPC was a painless experience, I asked many questions and answers were there immediately there was no pressure. On deciding I would go ahead they did everything for me, I ordered the new licence plate on a Monday and plates and information telling me I could use them arrived on Thursday, how's that for service. I am very pleased with PPC, thank you I have waited many years to get what I wanted. I would recommend using them if you are looking for a private plate

Never done this before so was a bit unsure, sent the information off as requested Monday and received the plates Thursday. Excellent service both front and back look really smart.

Very disappointed, wish I went directly to the DVLA. From the get go the service was terrible, I received no confirmation email of my purchase and was therefore unsure what I had and had not already paid for. When I eventually managed to order my plate, I was sent the totally wrong plates in the post and mine were apparently sent to someone else who could use them as they please.

And to top it all off I am still waiting for my transfer documents months later! Called them directly a few times and was fobbed off or spoken over the top of. Really poor service.
Trevor Tremethick
Totally positive experience. My first ever private plate and all went completely hassle-free. Helpful and friendly service. Would recommend The Private Plate Company unreservedly.
Alan Moore
Fantastic company. Sent my docs off on the thur. Plates were on the car Monday afternoon. Great service.
Hervinder Bola
I have never ordered private plates so this was all new to me. I found the person/s I spoke to very helpful and he explained everything to me. I paid for my plates over the phone & I was told I would receive an e-mail confirming my order and that my plates would arrive in 5 days however I never got the e-mail so I was a little worried. I had absolutely no need to worry as the ppc went one step further & arranged for my plates to be delivered the very next day. What a brilliant service I would definitely recommend this company - this is what you call customer service & satisfaction.
Cliff Moorman
Brilliant service ordered new plates via them everything was completed with in a week no hassle at all great value for money

Brenda Bellas
Fast efficient and friendly service. Have not dealt with this sort of thing before the assistant made it so easy. On the car now and looks fantastic.
Tim Mills
Professional, helpful service with clear emails sent to advise on any further steps needed before the registration can be released. Very quick service for transferring the registration through DVLC, 2 days in total from ordering to receiving notification that I could use the new plate. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Josh Dobbo
Very easy to buy & order the gent I spoke to was so helpful and got everthing sorted straight away, will certainly use again.
