A Sound 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 had to wait 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. He said: “Yasmin 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 them so they stand out. Stuart Henson, the salesman at Regtransfers.co.uk has given me some great advice on what to buy, I am very grateful to him.”
