PS Make money from number plates

As this month has the release of the '64' number plate it reminded us that there's potentially big money to be made from number plates.

In March 2009 a staggering £352,000 was paid for the number plate 1D and prices are still going up. Who knows how much yours could be worth!

(Incidentally, those driving with a '13' plate have been found to have the lowest accident rate of any new car owners during the last ten years... not so unlucky after all!)
