Finding your ideal number plate
Finding your ideal number plate
Trying to track down a number plate can be tough- here are some tips and tricks for finding a particular number plate.
Google it!
Google, if used correctly can help you a great deal. If you know the exact combination you require then searching for it with in speech marks is the best way to find any information on the number plate combination.
With blogs, classifieds and all manner of information on the internet- Googling your ideal number plate should be the first step on your journey.
did you know smashing plates adverts appear on google? search for a plate on the smashing plates website – such as MRB1G - and see what happens!
Check the dealers
There are literally hundreds of number plate dealers in the UK- there are 3 or so main players- Regtransfers, Newreg and Plates4less.
Although dealers’ stocks are similar it makes sense that some carry more plates than others- our advice would be to search as many number plate dealers as you can bear- it’s surprising how many number plate sellers are content to list with one small number plate dealer.
Check the Auctions
There are 6 DVLA auctions each year – they provide details of upcoming auctions as well as previous lots on their website.
It’s wise to check both these resources in the quest for your personal number plate.
Place a wanted advert
The only place to advertise that you want a number plate (at the time of writing) is at smashing-plates.com.
As you may be struggling to find your ideal number plate from the vast combinations available online- so too may the seller of your combination be struggling to find a buyer.
A number plate wanted advert gets you exposure and spreads your net that little bit wider.
