National Numbers Articles

It does what it says on the tin, registration plate UK mean buying plates in the UK.

For example a UK plate, refers to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The strange thing is, that Northern Ireland is separate from Britain for the simple fact the rules governing Britain plates and Northern Ireland plates are different.

The DVLA and the equivalent DVLNI in Ireland are working together to try and integrate this system into one.

The stupid thing is if you buy a DVLA number plate from Swansea, and a person in Northern Ireland wants it on their car, we have the ridiculous system where it must first be registered on a vehicle in Britain.

I hear you say, only the Irish can think of that, but in actual fact, it is the British who think like this.

Buying your registration plate UK from National Numbers couldn’t be easier. Pick up the phone and talk to one of our pleasant staff and you will be amazed at how quickly you can have the plate on your vehicle.

We normally refer to registration plates UK as plates that are issued in the UK. There are plates that are issued outside the UK in different formats. Our format has led to a massive growth in selling and buying of plates as they can lend themselves to look like names.

Such as T1 LLY, or W1 LLY or B1 LLY and all of these have recently gone through auctions in the last 15 years and fetched incredible amounts of money.

Let’s take another example of an original cherished number plate.

EC 1 used to belong to AC Windows and Doors in Romford and they also used to own a lot of other plates. 1 EC was issued to a Diplomat in the East Caribbean Commission, London W8. EC 2 belongs to a Mr. J. Potter in Kirby Stephen and it’s on a 5 horse power 1899 Marshall, Steam engine which is very interesting in itself as the original registration only started in 1903.

Mr Craggs, Chairman of www.nationalnumbers.co.uk has been to see this vehicle and tried to buy it. Mr. Craggs owns EC 5 which was the first plate ever issued from Kendal County Council in 1903.

He would like to buy EC 2, which is owned by the Potter brothers but they will not sell. They have a lovely collection of original vehicles with the original numbers on.

So registration plates UK do carry a lot of history and interest, unlike a lot of other countries.

We pride ourselves in trying to achieve a very well run business. To this end we decided that we would try to achieve an award that is recognised by industry throughout Europe. We prepared to try and gain the quality award BSI 9001 2000. National Numbers managed to do this at its first attempt. The Chairman, Eric Craggs, had previously worked as a manager at ICI for 30 years and had been involved in trying to get businesses within ICI to get this award. We have had the award for six years. For the last two years, BSI has required us to conduct a formal customer survey – we are the only company within the DVLA number plate business to do so.

Please look at our Testimonials to see what they think. You may think that a lot of web sites just make up their feedback, a lot do, but we are actually audited by a British Standard Quality Expert to verify that our customer comments are genuine.

Registration style reg is a bit of a mouthful to say but it refers to cherished number plates in the UK.

Let’s assume you live in the Gateshead area of the country where whippets and leeks are grown. You can always denote prefix or a suffix plate by something with A C N. Of these three characters, the last two are the important two. So A C N, it is the C N that comes from Newcastle upon Tyne. So, I hear you ask, “Which other ones come from that area?”

Maybe I don’t, but close to Gateshead is a place close to South Shields so that is C U.

You can see there isn’t a great deal of logic to the letters, the new format plates which start for example NU51 and three random numbers is different. The N at the beginning denotes North and NU is allocated to Newcastle area, which is eminently sensible.

Registration style reg can be bought from National Numbers. They provide a first class service and are now the market leaders in the number plate industry and the first dealers to offer 0% finance facility on virtually 30 million plates.

We have also introduced a pay later facility for 2007 system where you can have your plate now and pay nothing until the time period is about to run out.

Looking for your registration style reg, I believe being the Chairman of National Numbers, the only place to buy from is National Numbers.

If this is the first time you have looked into the world of Number Plates then you may wish to look at our Testimonials in order to get a feel of how important we think your custom is to National Numbers and how important customer service is to us.
