DJ with an Eye for Investment

Vince Wright from Newcastle-upon-Tyne became a DJ in the 1980's - the era of big hair and shoulder pads. These days, under the names ABC Wedding Services and All Parties Mobile Disco, Vince has a full time job that takes him throughout the north-east. As well as his discos, Vince provides his-and-hers wedding cars. The 'His' car is a silver Jaguar XK8 and 'Hers' is a white Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.

Vince has become quite well known, and he has been asked to open several Fresh Express shops in Newcastle, Middlesborough and Hull. The BBC also invited him to appear on The Car's the Star hosted by Quentin Willson. In that programme Vince was asked to take his Rolls Royce to Blackpool and to set up his disco in the same way that he would for any other event. They liked the idea that he used a Rolls Royce as transport for his disco business at the time. Now, however, Vince's disco equipment travels in a Mazda MPV.

In 2006, Vince bought himself a special Christmas present. He purchased 1 EOX (LEO X) which he put on his white Rolls. The registration had no personal significance for him, but as a Barclays Small Trader dealing in stocks and shares he had once read how, if bought wisely, number plates can have good investment potential, something that Quentin Willson has also been widely quoted as saying.

Vince was reading the Linda Lusardi issue of the Regtransfers magazine one day when he came across 1 EOX. He realised the plate had wide potential appeal, and therefore could be a sound investment. Vince knew that number one registrations are highly sought after. He also saw that 1 EOX spells out the name 'Leo', which is also an astrological star sign. Another obvious benefit is that it looks great on a car. Vince's fiancée, Sara, agrees and thinks the plate is absolutely great.

In the short time he has owned the registration, Vince has already had people offering to buy it. A clear indicator that his instincts about 1 EOX were correct.
