I have a friend who names his cars the way he names his kids, if ever he will have one. See, he is still single and therefore very eligible, given that he is handsome, educated and is stable – his car buy and sell business plus repair shop is doing good.

There is one car he has a hard time letting go of, and it doesn’t surprise me that when it needed to “rest”, he kept an essential part of it and transferred it to his new “baby” – a white Ford Escape SUV. He transferred the name plate of his old car to his new one, and up to that point I never knew it was possible.

Cherished Registrations are what they are called. It is associated with classic dateless registrations. Many of these number plates have often been owned by families for decades or have a high sentimental value.  With the rising demand to own a cherished number plate, prices have increased year on year. Cherished registrations can change hands for tens of thousands of pounds and some are worth more than the average house in the UK.

I knew that if ever he will have kids, this cherished plate will be used by his son or daughter and passed on to future grandkids.
