Asian number plates are an important part of the world of personalised number plates.
For a long time, cherished number plates and personalised registrations have been sported by many thousands of Asian motorists- as not only a display of wealth and prestige- but also as a display of their faith and religion.
The most famous Asian number plate would be 51NGH - this sold for over £200k at a DVLA auction in 2006.
Singh is a word widely used by sikhs (meaning lion) which forms a surname or middlename.
Next to S1NGH – 51NGH is the last way to spell this word using autonumerology and thus carried a hefty price tag.
S1NGH sold for £86000 in a DVLA auction in 1998 and remains in private hands.
So why are asian number plates so popular?
There are so many combinations of numberplate to be purchased from the DVLA that Asian names and words can be easily spelt and purchased via the DVLA website for modest sums.
With the launch of F number plates – such names as Faisal and Farhad will become easier to obtain.
It would seem that Asian numberplates are here to stay- there is a solid following of Asian motorists- all looking to buy or sell that perfect Asian combination.
