Private number plates wanted - How are private number plates valued?
If a private number is wanted by us at Motoreg the following factors are used in determining the value:
A. The type of plate:
Dateless, Suffix, Prefix or New Style.
B. The look of the plate:
What we mean is some numbers have more appeal than others.
1 is obviously the most prized for example. Numbers on private number plates wanted are often significant when they relate to high end car models such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, etc. Many numbers also can have cultural, religious or spiritual value. Numbers can also look like letters e.g. 5 is like an S and 1 is like an I or L, having these on your number plate can enable the plate to read like a word. If you can do that, then bingo! Your wanted number plate will be valuable.
Letters are probably the most important aspect of a private number plate and its value.
Many number plates are sold because they match initials or short names of owners and some sets of initials and names are more common than others.
However the value of some plates can suddenly be wanted like K155 spelling kiss or B055 for boss, for people owning these plates will suddenly find their personal number wanted.
C. Plate provenance:
A value is now attached to registrations because of their history. Owners of classic cars or vintage cars will often wants plates that reflect the age of the car.
