Let me guess; the fancy for fancy numbers-when did it all start?
Probably when mankind’s belief in numerology became strong? I could be so especially after an accident or any other untoward happening that might have caused damage to the car and its driver.
I could imagine another reason too. You bought a shining new car that is just launched and you are one of the first 100 owners of this car. In your passion to show off, you probably would have thought that by getting a private number plate will add to the appeal of the vehicle.
Now, we all see several cars on the road with customized number plates selected by the owner of the vehicle. I believe there must a special service that caters to demands for private number plates.
Some people say that private number plates are easy to remember than allotted numbers by the vehicle registration authorities. But why should you need to remember? Only others need to remember your car and its license plates!
Trivia:
Do you know that the highest price ever paid for a fancy and private number plate? It is a whopping £285,000.
Hmmm… some vanity-eh?

Asides from making your vehicle alot more unique, Private number plates are a great investment. Unlike the car itself, the value of private plates never drop as each one is unique, so a plater worth 250 pounds today, may well be worth 2,500 in 5 - 10 years time.
I agree, number plates are a great investment, but I would say more so in the long term than the short term. The best thing about them is that you can take them from car to car (as long as you can keep affording the transfer fees - lol!).
I have some guides to investing in number plates etc. on my website
