How To Transfer Cherished Number Plates?
Cherished number plates can exist in either of two states:
• On a vehicle;
• On a
certificate of entitlement which designates the legal owner.
Depending on your needs, a
cherished number can be transferred from a certificate to a vehicle or vice-versa. A transfer can be
made either through the post or online. The only paperwork you will require is the V5C logbook of
the vehicle in question. Furthermore, an £80 fee will be payable to the DVLA for the transfer to go
through. If you require further assistance, please give us a call on 0203 600 1234, and our team of
experts will be more than happy to help.

What are Cherished Plates?
Cherished plates are so-called because, for them to remain in circulation until the present day,
they had to be passed along from one owner to another. Thus, they were often passed down from
generation to generation as a sort of family heirloom or remained on a classic vehicle as it saw
one owner swapped for another again and again.
Cherished plates are cultural artefacts
as well as objects of fascination for many. The plethora of collectors, scholars, clubs,
societies and just sheer information available concerning cherished numbers begs the question:
how could something as prosaic as a car registration plate become the locus of such
preoccupation? Put simply, cherished number plates are imbued with meaning; they are symbols
which command respect, inspire awe, or, in onlookers, conjure up fewer noble emotions such as
envy.
Changing Attitudes Towards Cherished Plates
Because of their cherished status, these plates are often quite expensive. The most expensive
cherished number plate ever sold was bought for £518,000 in 2014. Ferrari dealer John Collins
purchased the 25 O registration and now adorns the front and rear bumpers of a £10 million
Ferrari 250SWB.
However, attitudes within the motor trade are changing. Those working in
this field have realised that the term ‘cherished number plates’ should perhaps not apply
strictly to dateless registrations. A number plate can be cherished by its owner and can hold a
special place in their heart even if it’s not extremely expensive and registered before
1963.
Private registration plates, which are much less pricey than dateless ones, can
still be personalised in a way which pleases their owners and adds another layer of meaning to
their beloved vehicle. There are millions of combinations available to personalise your
registration plate. At Click 4 Reg, we strive to help vehicle owners find a plate that suits
their budget – however big or small!
