Des has his say <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our director Des always has something to say and he gave the\nfollowing comment about this impressive news\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a fitting tribute to the Irish Registration scene\nthat the DVLA chose an Irish Number Plate for their most iconic plate for their\n30th Anniversary Sale. They have come a long way since the first DVLNI Auction\nin Wilsons in 1996, having matured very nicely over the last 30 years and are\nnow seen as a sound and highly lucrative investment opportunity.  Prices of Irish registrations in Auction\ncontinue with a massive steep upwards price trajectory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalised number plates are a great investment <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s amazing how much some number plates increase in value.\nThey make a brilliant investment as they do retain their value and may well go\nup in value. They\u2019re a safe bet for those wary of the stock market or anyone\nwho doesn\u2019t want to risk share prices plummeting. Of course, they\u2019re also an\ninvestment you can make the most of, by using them on your car until you\u2019re\nready to sell and make a tidy profit! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most expensive plates ever sold by the DVLA <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s interesting to see which plates have made the most money at auction. Here are the top selling plates of all time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
