Hi all and happy new year, I am trying to help a friend who had to take care of disposing of her late brothers assets a few years ago and was left with his number plates for his companies cars that were transfered to her name, one is out of date but three are transferable up to 2025. What is the best way to do this, one is the name of his company which is a letter in the Greek alphabet the other two are the same with consecutive numers, single letter two digit number and three letters.

I see on line there are a number of companies that do this for a comission or fee, any help appreciated.

Ebay them with a low starting price.  They may have paid for them but will anyone else want them is the
question. Could be worthless if nobody else wants them.

Beware companies that say yes its worth ££££ but not willing to actually buy them.

Costs a company virtually nothing to add your reg onto their list, check dealers and see how many have the
same reg numbers for sale.

That's the crucial point - it depends whether they have meaning for any other potential buyers

S1 GMA ?    Might sell to someone who has a similar company name, or a Greek connection or those initials

something like  S12 GMA and S13 GMA?    Only of interest if the initials are relevant.

I agree - try eBay.   Maybe with the second ones sold as a pair.

Are there any other businesses with a similar name? It might be worth approaching them.
