\nThe value of rare plates has soared and they are now seen as an investment along the same lines as fine wine or a Rolex. But you needn\u2019t break the bank to get one…The most expensive one of all time is 25 O, selling for an eye-watering \u00a3400,000 in 2014. K1 NGS and KR15 HNA sold for more than \u00a3200,000.

Since 1989, the DVLA has sold more than 4.5m registration numbers and raised around \u00a32.3bn for the Treasury.

Last year was the first time we exceeded \u00a3100m. We have a million hits on our website a month.\u201d Continue reading…
