Brilliant all the way around, helped me find the number plate I wanted even though it wasn't on the list. Sorted out everything. I would recommend.

National Numbers were average in dealing with my purchase, they tried to charge a fixed & inflated price for a number plate that wasn't even in their possession and auctioned for less than expected. They eventually settled at the correct and valued price, but only after I quoted the calculations to them myself. The experience became stressful & took some of the fun out of buying for the first time. Not impressed, I would NOT use them again.
Really nothing much to fault but could've done with a bit more correspondence.
