The Isle of Man has a Cherished Number Plate scheme with formats as shown. The scheme is very similar to the UK scheme with formats for prefix, suffix, and dateless registrations. However, due to the Isle of Man having a limited range of letter combinations available comprising; MN, MAN and MANX it isn’t possible to personalise a registration to a name or someone’s initials. The different formats are priced with fixed pricing starting at £100 for suffix style formats. The more exclusive numbers reach costs…

The DVLA Auction held in June 2022 with the Top 10 results as shown demonstrates how the value of new style name related plates can realise height normally only reserved for dateless or prefix name related plates. The top plate in value was SA22 RAH with a cash sum of £45,150 paid for this SARAH name related plate. This follows on from MA22 CUS in the previous auction where a cash sum of £10,965 was paid. We have similar 22 series plates that represent incredible…

The May 2022 DVLA Auction produced some lofty prices, particularly for the first three lots on price alone. The top plate by price was PAT 3K which is a name related plate with an association to the Swiss Watchmaker PATEK. The second plate in the Top 10 based on price was occupied by 51 TES and we can only speculate that the high price for this plate was paid by a competing bidder intent on securing the number as a name related plate for Tessa…

The latest DVLA Auction held in April 2022 saw the top plate by value reach a hammer price of £61,010 which is a cash value of £78,337.

As most people know the number 3 is seen as the letter E in registration terms and it doesn’t really have a resemblance to the letter I. However, the plate 51 NGH sold at auction in 2006 with a hammer price of £201,000…

The DVLA Online Auction held in January 2022 provided some encouragement that affordable numbers can still be purchased at these auctions. There were an increased number of unsold registration numbers at this auction and prices across the range of the available numbers were reasonable. Top prices being paid for obscure dateless registration formats continued with cash prices in excess of £25k paid for 8 XV and £30k paid for 6 XN. The ‘O’ factor also continues as a theme with £89k paid for 75 O….
