personalised registration plates

wendyf_3

Hi there

It's my 30th birthday next week and my present is a personalised registration plate for my car ( Not very moneysaving i know but i follow all the other tips religiously!)
Does anyone know where the best place to purchase one of these would be?
Thanks

Failing that you could try REGTRANSFERS.CO.UK, supposed to be one of the best.

Most online companies are either the same company, or share the same source. Searches on them all bring back the same results.

Good luck at finding something decent at a good price.

Really good advice. The best link I can find is http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/
and then start tapping in your preferred letters/numbers to see what is available.

A lot of the numberplate companies simply use DVLA and then put on a (handsome) markup.

You mention the moneysaving thing .... as it happens, if you get the right plate, it could be an investment and increase in value. chances are though, you will keep it simple cos it may have sentimental value.

I bought mine on eBay. It was £2000, but was also listed on the brokers' sites for £4500-£5000.

Shame you're a WF and not a PF. 1976 PF is currently on eBay for £not much.

Mind you, N1 WEN is for sale there.

PF's my sister so unlucky once again. Will keep looking!

30 quid lets you change your name by deed poll, then you can match any plate

Hey, they're actually advertising my number plate for sale! It definitely isn't so I'm inclined to disagree with you

Especially as I paid £2k for it and they're after £4195 + VAT and fees.
