Why names make great private number plates

Names are amongst the most popular of private number plates. As more and more name registrations are bought and sold, many find owners who really cherish them and intend to keep them. This means fewer of those names remain available and so prices begin to rise. It's a great result for those who have invested in name plates, but it means that buyers need to move quickly to get the best deals. There are still some great name plates available, even at lower prices, but the performance of name plates in recent auctions suggests that their increasing popularity is already pushing those values up.

Investment potential

That trend in the prices of name numbers has always been upwards: that's what makes name registrations such a sound investment. The table below shows a selection of recent auction sales. While the effectiveness of the representations varies, these numbers all achieved high prices. Even those for which better combinations exist see their values pushed up by the ever-growing demand for name registrations.

It's not surprising that so many people aspire to own their names on private number plates. We live in a time when people like to be seen and noticed; social media is proof of that. Even for the more reserved amongst us, our name on our car's number plate is simply the ultimate in personalisation. Driving a unique vehicle is a great feeling.
