Thankfully the market is still vibrant and it seems that more and more people are coming to us to find something really special. Just looking at some of the articles featured in this magazine brings both a smile and a quizzical look to my face. When Ken Lang found his registration (K1 ANG - page 5) he soon realised that it had a far wider appeal than for just his name. The letter from one-year-old Harrison James Collingwood (J17 HJC - page 6) is quite amusing and hopefully an inspiration to all other one-year-olds to get their number plates as soon as possible in life. Paul Russell (S4 FTY - page 9) is a perfect example of someone looking to go one better. Then there is the family involvement highlighted in Terry Jordan-Killoran’s story on page 11. A scenario that we find is an everincreasing trend. Just take a look at the two plates above H412 OLD and 10 YD - Harold Lloyd just in case you haven’t quite got into the swing of things yet - They are the sort of plates that a black and white film buff would love, and we have catered for the more unusual with the ‘Jobs and Interests’ search on our website, but go steady - you may end up with a registration that reflects your true self. No matter how many reasons we find as to why people buy number plates we are always keen to hear of more. If you have an interesting or unusual story to tell about the registration you bought, then contact us either by email or post.

Mr Versatility It was back in 1983, when Ken Lang of Swansea first became interested in owning a personal number plate. “It was when the prefix format was first launched. Myself and a few work colleagues were sat in the canteen discussing the best combinations available. Keith very much fancied K1 ETH and I thought K1 ANG would be great for me. Of course we would have to wait until 1993 for these combinations, but I made it a distant wish. Over the years, I must have checked the number plate ads in magazines and newspapers a thousand times, but the elusive K1 ANG was not to be found.” In 2002, Ken's wife, Angela, suggested that Ken could have a plate for his birthday. By then he had discovered the Regtransfers web site and was searching for a plate with his initials. “I was about to purchase another plate, when I found K1 ANG on your site, it was in the ANG for Angela search. I made an offer over the phone, and found your staff very helpful. All I had to do was send off a cheque and the necessary paperwork and the Regtransfers team did the rest.” It wasn't long before Ken was able to display his new plate and he says, “It has definitely enhanced the look of my car.” Essex Girl Karen Atwell of Chelmsford was constantly having the mickey taken out of her just because she is from Essex. “I was purchasing a new car The purchase has potential to grow in value. Since he has owned the plate, Ken was approached at a motorway services by a Mr Kiang who offered him far more than he paid for it. After waiting for it for so long, however, Ken has decided to hold onto it for the time being. “Before I bought it, I only saw it to represent K Lang, but now I see it to be very versatile. It can be KIA NG as in the car manufacturer (KIA), K IAN G representing the name Ian, and thought what better time than to show my colleagues, that if you can’t beat them, why not join them!” Karen had read in a magazine one K1 ANG short for Angela, KIAN G as in Kian Egan of Westlife and KIANG as in the surname Kiang. “Also (and not a lot of people know this, and I don't suppose many people care!), a Kiang is a rare and endangered wild Tibetan ass! “Thank you, Regtransfers, for my ultimate personal plate. I'll be back one day for MR51 ANG for Mrs Lang!” day that “S6” meant “Essex”. She immediately realised that if she added ‘GAL’ to it, she would have the perfect number plate. “I looked up S6 GAL but it was £4000. So I looked for something similar and found S66 GAL. “I went into work with my new car, furry dice, white stilettos in the back and my new number plate. Everyone at work thought it was sooooooooooooo funny.” Karen has had so much fun with her number plate but has now ordered a company car and cannot transfer the number so it’s time to sell. “Also, my partner refuses to drive the car with the number plate on, so I think he will be pleased to see it go as he drives a Porsche!”, she concluded.
