Is my car number plate worth anything?
Name number plates are worth most
As a rule, if a number plate has an easily recognisable name on it, it's worth a lot. Especially if it doesn't have too many 'spare' letters or numbers on it. A full name (like Simon or David) is harder to create on a number plate so it's worth more.
