Registration Plates UK
We normally refer to registration plates UK as plates that are issued in the UK. There are plates that are issued outside the UK in different formats. Our format has led to a massive growth in selling and buying of plates as they can lend themselves to look like names.
Such as T1 LLY, or W1 LLY or B1 LLY and all of these have recently gone through auctions in the last 15 years and fetched incredible amounts of money. Lets take another example of an original cherished number plate.EC 1 used to belong to AC Windows and Doors in Romford and they also used to own a lot of other plates. 1 EC was issued to a Diplomat in the East Carribean Commission, London W8. EC 2 belongs to a Mr. J. Potter in Kirby Stephen and it's on a 5 horse power 1899 Marshall, Steam engine which is very interesting in itself as the original registration only started in 1903. Mr Craggs, Chairman of www.nationalnumbers.co.uk has been to see this vehicle and tried to buy it. Mr. Craggs owns EC 5 which was the first plate ever issued from Kendal County Council in 1903. He would like to buy EC 2, which is owned by the Potter brothers but they will not sell. They have a lovely collection of original vehicles with the original numbers on. So registration plates UK do carry a lot of history and interest, unlike a lot of other countries. We pride ourselves in trying to achieve a very well run business. To this end we decided that we would try to achieve an award that is recognised by industry throughout Europe. We prepared to try and gain the quality award BSI 9001 2000. National Numbers managed to do this at its first attempt. The Chairman, Eric Craggs, had previously worked as a manager at ICI for 30 years and had been involved in trying to get businesses within ICI to get this award. We have had the award for six years. For the last two years, BSI have required us to conduct a formal customer survey - we are the only company within the DVLA number plate business to do so. Please look at our Testimonials to see what they think. You may think that a lot of web sites just make up their feedback, a lot do, but we are actually audited by a British Standard Quality Expert to verify that our customer comments are genuine.
