Keeping it in the family

Chris Carey, from Eastleigh in Hampshire,wanted to find a personalised number plate that related to his name and which he could pass down through the family:

“I was looking for a sort of hierloom, I suppose. After weeks of thought I had settled for CAR 3Y. It looked the part and nothing had to be moved or changed to recognise my name.”

After some investigation he discovered that DVLA had not released the plate yet. So, he registered with several cherished number companies and awaited a response. Three years went by and he had given up on the idea and bought one with his initials CPC 766.

“Then, out of the blue, I had a text from Regtransfers.co.uk to say they had the plate and to give them a call. I phoned straight away and spoke to a friendly and polite chap called Chris Dixon. We quickly agreed a price and I payed a deposit. Two weeks later I had a call from Chris to say the plate was in my name. I payed the balance over the phone and the certificate was posted out to me the next day. I went straight to the VRO and put the plate on my car. I have since sold CPC 766 now that I have my ultimate plate.

Chris has also purchased N3 SXX (Nes XX) for my fiancée Vanessa. I gave that to her on Valentine’s day. She says it’s a day now that she will never forget and is reminded of it every time she drives her car.”

Five-year-old son Joshua C Carey has JC04 REY for when he’s old enough to drive. “We have found that personalised number plates go up in value and are a good investment, so we are seeking plates for all our kids. They give the car that personal touch and can also bring back fond memories.”
The couple also have 6040 WJ which hides the age of their car transporter and is also a little investment for the future.

“Regtransfers have provided me with a first-class service and I would recommend them to anyone who is considering purchasing a cherished number in the near future. Keep up the good work!”
