Cherished number plates are a type of number plate which is very high in demand. They are the ones which spell out a certain name which appeals to a lot of people.
Many people want personalised plates and the demand for them seems to be growing at the moment. Many registrations are getting hard to get hold of and this is particularly true with cherished plates. This is because the newer formats of registration plates are less flexible with regards to the words that can be spelt out on them. You really can only have three letter words and they have to have quite a few numbers as well.
The older registrations were set out differently and therefore tend to have better words and look a lot better. They are therefore worth a lot more money. They are getting scarcer all the time as well. This is because older cars are being scrapped all the time as they do not last forever unless they are looked after really well. With this type of plate getting rarer, it is likely that their value will increase.
It is therefore worth looking in to investing in a cherished plate. They are more expensive at the moment, than other types of plates and therefore you will have to have quite a bit of money to invest. However, they are probably the plates that are likely to increase the most in value. Take a look at some of the websites selling them and see what you think.
