Great site, well laid out and easy to navigate, easiest thing I have purchased online for some time. I thought it would be difficult to buy a private reg for my car but don't be afraid use these guys, trust a customer!

So simple to order and pay, so many options to choose. Staff so helpful they made the payments so easy and straight forward.
Just bought my dream plate from National numbers and absolutely delighted! Received a excellent personal service throughout from Pete Somerfield, a genuine honest saleman that was never pushy, he is a asset to the company. A plate can be a large investment so would always recommend buying from a trusted company. National Numbers being No 1 in their field. First Class!
I found National Numbers via an internet search and am so glad I did. I got the number I wanted at a reasonable price, but it didn't end there. I asked how long it would be likely to take to get sorted as I am going to Germany in a couple of weeks. They pulled out all the stops AND sorted out the right number plates for my ageing S-Type. Recommended, and a special thanks to Chantelle, the delightful lady on customer service.
