Since defecting to the Labour party, ex-Liberal Democrat minister Andrew Duffield has put his L16 DEM personalised number plate up for sale having paid just £250 for it nearly twenty years ago.

For obvious reasons Mr Duffield has removed the number from his vehicle and placed it on retention hoping to sell it to a die hard Lib Dem supporter and he isn’t asking a ridiculous amount for the registration either. So far he hasn’t been able to find a buyer for the registration but perhaps he is himself looking for a new cheap private number plate for his vehicle to replace his last one. Speedy Reg have a huge selection of cheap dateless registrations and cheap private registrations to choose from and are experts in the transfer of all varieties of registrations. If you are looking for a cheap registration for your vehicle why not give them a call today?

Northern Irish registration dealers and fans of this coveted style of prefix registration breathed a sigh of relief as they were told at a conference in Coventry two weeks ago that plans to scrap this unique style of registration were no longer going ahead.

Northern Ireland registrations are unique in the fact that they are a dateless prefix style with three letters containing either an I or a Z followed by up to four numbers. You may have seen some of the more quirky styles such as JIG, UUI, GAZ, LIL, BAZ and so on.

These very special dateless registrations are now confirmed to be continuing despite plans by the DVLA to introduce the GB style system to Northern Ireland along with plans to centralise local offices in an attempt to harmonise and run all proceedings from head office in Swansea. Although it is not yet certain what the future of local offices in Northern Ireland will be registration dealers are very happy to see the continuation of the Northern Irish registration, which is popular throughout the UK.

Speedy Reg MD Des Elton is naturally delighted with the news as he has been campaigning long and hard not only to ensure that Northern Irish registrations continue but to maintain a unique part of the Northern Irish heritage, save many jobs and of course help the economy. Keep checking this blog for updates on the situation or you can find further information in local newspapers.

The new Jaguar F-Type has finally left the Birmingham factory and reports on the performance are good. The last sports car made by Jaguar was the E-Type which was made way back in 1975 so this new model has been a long time coming, greatly anticipated by Jaguar enthusiasts who are unlikely to be disappointed.

A true British classic that is still being made here in the UK. It’s estimated that over 75% will be exported overseas, predominately to the US. If you’re lucky enough to be a proud owner of one of these super 2-seater Jaguar F-Types, you may well want a head turning license plate to go with it. Look no further than Speedy Reg, we’ve got some great JAG plate. You can take your pick from 55 JAG, 75 JAG, JAG 15V, JAG 3R, JAG 64N and more! The perfect compliment for your new car.

We’ve been out on the street asking you what you’d love to have on your personalised car number plate if money were no object.

Karen Holdsworth said she’d love to have her name on her number plate. Everyone calls her Kaz and she thinks this would make a great plate. We agree and let her know that with a visit to Speedy Reg she could pick up AF03 KAZ for under £200!

Tom Grantley said he’d also like his name on a plate, but he’d love a really short plate as he thinks they look the coolest. We’ve found the perfect plate. 86 TOM, not only does it have his name on, but it also has the year of his birth – 1986!

Evan Smyth runs a web design company and he’s been thinking about a plate that would help promote his business. We took a look at what is available and came up with the fabulous F1 WEB, however at over £20,000 this might be a little over Evan’s budget, but he could always opt for E15 WEB for under £600. He could pick up a plate even cheaper if he wants his company name, EVS on his plate; ACO2 EVS is available for under £200!

The DVLA, which stands for The Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency, is the organisation which is responsible for enforcing GB number plates and car registration rules. Similarly in Northern Ireland a separate body known as the DVA works in the same way.

Registration dealers such as Speedy Reg, adhere to all DVLA and DVA regulations and deal with them directly so it is always best to purchase your choice of registration through a reputable company like Speedy Reg to ensure that everything is legal and above board.

In today’s modern society it is possible for anyone to own a private licence plate and in fact you don’t even have to own a vehicle as many private registrations are held on a ‘Certificate of Entitlement’ or a ‘Retention Certificate,’ which means they can be held on certificate for as long as you need, however the certificate has an expiry date and therefore needs to be renewed each year.

The idea that private registrations are only associated with the rich and famous is now a thing of the past due to the fact that these types of registrations are now a lot more price competitive and many registration dealers such as Speedy Reg offer finance packages on many of their registrations on a buy now pay later basis. This makes it possible for anyone to own the registration of their dreams. Is there a registration you have always wanted yet thought you couldn’t afford it? Have you been looking at a registration for a while but don’t currently have a vehicle?
