Cherished Registration Plates
A Prestigious and Distinct Number Plate
Looking to make your vehicle truly stand out? Our premium collection of cherished private number plates offers exclusivity, heritage and rarity. Whether you're after a rare dateless number plate or a highly sought after 2-digit plate, our curated selection showcases some of the UK’s most unique and collectible registrations.
With the filter buttons below, you can sort through 2-digit, 3-digit, 4-digit, or dateless plates — many of which are one-off finds or combinations that won’t appear again due to DVLA regulations. These number plates aren’t just personal registrations — they’re rare pieces, often with a history, scarcity and character unlike the standard plates you see every day.
Why Invest in a Cherished Registration Plate?
If you’re simply looking for a standard personalised plate, our affordable ranges might do. But for those seeking distinction, rarity, or an investment-quality vehicle identity, cherished plates offer something more. Think of them as wearable art, collectible assets, or classic memorabilia — only this time for your vehicle.
These plates come with minimal characters or are dateless, offering a clean, timeless appearance that commands attention. Whether you choose to keep and use your cherished plate or sell it later, its uniqueness and rarity tend to preserve — and sometimes increase — its value. Some purchasers view them as long-term investments: a plate could end up worth many times more, especially if it carries initials, obvious letter-number combinations, or a historic look.
A cherished registration can also serve as a status symbol, reflecting personal style, wealth, or simply a passion for exclusive plates. For those who appreciate rarity and class — these plates can deliver both on the road and as an asset.

Choose Your Style
2 Digit Plates — The Ultimate in Status and Rarity
Two-digit plates — made up of a single letter and a single number — are among the rarest registrations ever released. All such plates were issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), and no more will be released. That makes them the ultimate collectible plate — highly sought after and seldom available once sold.
For many of our customers, a two-digit plate isn’t just a plate — it’s a statement of prestige, exclusivity, and timeless identity.
3 Digit Plates — Smart, Short and Valuable
3-digit registrations offer a flexible balance between value, rarity and style. They may comprise two letters and one number, or two numbers and one letter. These plates often attract buyers who want a short, memorable number plate without the premium price tag of a 2-digit plate.
While not as rare as 2-digit plates, 3-digit plates remain highly desirable — especially combinations that are easy to remember or look visually appealing. They’re also among the most popular choices in the short-plate investment market.
4 Digit Plates — Style and Flexibility
For those who want a short and distinctive plate but prefer more combinations (like initials, letters + number or specific sequences), 4-digit plates offer excellent value. Over the years, we’ve facilitated many sales of 4-digit registrations and helped buyers find plates that complement their car’s character or reflect their personal identity.
Dateless Plates — Timeless Appeal for Any Car Age
For car lovers who want their registration to transcend vehicle age, dateless plates are a favourite. These timeless plates don’t reveal the age of the car — offering a clean, classic look that can suit modern cars and classics alike.
Many of our customers choose dateless plates to preserve privacy about their car's age or because they prefer that enduring look. Starting from modest investment levels, these plates can become long-term keepsakes or resale assets.
Number 1 Registration Plates
Number 1 private number plates are a bold way to stand out. With prices starting from around £8,000, they offer distinction and exclusivity that grabs attention. These are especially popular with those looking to show status or invest in a plate that will always hold premium appeal.
