Cherished Numbers Dealers AssociationDue to the unique nature of private number plates, for example "car registrations are not items of property in their own right. They are assigned, and may be withdrawn by the Secretary of State. They are assigned to the vehicle rather than its keeper" and many of the car registrations we have available to us involve a third party, therefore unless the registration is one of our own cherished number plates we MUST check availability before we can confirm that it is possible to transfer it. Similarly we rely on these third parties to inform us that it has been sold. If you see "your" cherished number plate on our website and it should not be there, we would welcome your feedback so that we can rectify the mistake. With regard to the Distance Selling Regulations, we must notify you that as the contract will begin as soon as payment is made, the cooling off period and right to cancel will no longer apply. This website contains cherished number plates from our own stock,car registrations where we are acting as an agent and government stock.We reserve the right to withdraw from sale or change the price of any private number plate without notice. All personalised number plates on this website are subject to a D.O.T. transfer fee, some are also subject to V.A.T. at 17.5%. Additional costs are sometimes applicable for the transfer of personalised number plates to N.Ireland... E.&.O.E.
