Cherished plates as a phrase is one that conjures up the idea of a plate that is particularly significant to it\u2019s owner, and that they bring with them from car to car. Indeed this has grown to be accepted in the motor industry as a phrase but that\u2019s not what it always meant. It used to refer to a specific kind of plate and for many it still does.<\/p>\n

The History of Cherished plates<\/h2>\n

The original use of the term \u201ccherished number plates\u201d was to refer to the old type of \u201cdateless\u201d number plates issued before 1963. These older plates are obviously quirkier and stand out more on the road. Like anything from before 1963 that\u2019s worth having they are harder to get hold of and much sought after. So higher prices tend to be the order of the day for these plates.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve already mentioned though, a cherished plate doesn\u2019t have to be one of these older plates it might just mean something to you and your friends.<\/p>\n

Why modern plates can be cherished plates too<\/h2>\n

A plate can have significance and meaning to someone for a myriad of reasons. Sometimes it\u2019s an unusual coincidental number, sometimes it\u2019s the letters make up a persons name or initials and for some it can even be the reg of their first ever car.<\/p>\n

Lucky numbers and birthdays, can also be a reason, and if a plate spells out your job or hobby or even your favourite sports team then that can be fun and different too. After all, who are we in the motor trade to dictate what anyone should cherish? For the record though we\u2019re pretty sure you can\u2019t have \u201cMAN UTD\u201d. (You can dream though right?)<\/p>\n

Older plate or Modern Plate it doesn\u2019t matter<\/h2>\n

At the end of the day it doesn\u2019t matter what any outside definition of a cherished plate is really at all, what really matters is you and what your plate says about you. A cherished plate is something you can use to keep on saying it for years to come. You just pay the transfer fee to move your cherished number plate to your new vehicle whenever you change your car.<\/p>\n

And if it\u2019s cherished for a VERY significant reason it might even be something you pass on to the next generation of drivers when the time comes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
