A personalised investment to cherish
During our 26 years in business it has become apparent that not only does purchasing a personal number plate give you many years of pleasure, but it has also become a sound financial investment. Don't just take our word for it, this is what Quentin Willson of BBC Top Gear Magazine said: "If you buy your number wisely, it will honestly be better than money in the bank."
Buying wisely is the key to a sound investment and like many of life's little extras, the more you invest, the greater the return. Some examples of cherished number plate prices are below, showing their current value against when first purchased. You can call Martin Wightwick on 01582 470046 for further information.

This is only a small selection but shows the immense increase in cherished registration values over the last 10 years. Investing in personalised numbers is certainly not the most obvious of choices to most but with this market proving to be a revolution, more and more of our clients, with sound advise and guidance, are enjoying their rewards from this mid/long term investment.
Unlike your car, the value of your registration does not go down, it doesn't require any maintenance, lasts a lifetime, can be a family heirloom and is totally unique. Having something that is all these things is surely unique in itself. Therefore, if you are looking to buy and want the best advice possible based on our 26 years' experience, call Martin on 01582 470046 and let us find your very own personalised investment.
Ivan Scott, from Burnley in Lancashire, is pushing his hobby of collecting personalised number plates beyond just buying them for fun, he is now buying and selling them with investment firmly in mind. For instance, he waited 17 years before he had the chance to buy his ultimate plate - 1 VY (Ivy is his nickname), but 18 months later he had an offer for it that he just felt he couldn't turn down, so he sold it again.
More recently Ivan has bought 11 YS for his daughter Yasmin's eleventh birthday. "She is delighted with the present. The plate is currently on our Citroen people carrier, but of course it will stay with her for as long as she wants it." Ivan currently has OVA 1 on his Mercedes, which is an excellent plate for anyone interested in cricket, and he has 3 VN on his BMW. "I enjoy seeing the number plates on my cars, it makes them look special and personalises the car, making it stand out from all the rest.
As you can see by the figures and above testimonial, cherished registrations are an excellent mid/long term investment so if you are interested for further information and suggested portfolio options, please contact Martin Wightwick.
