Smashing-Plates.com went live in March 2007; since that time we have received thousands of hits and hundreds of adverts.
We advertise in print and online-gradually building our market presence

Smashing-Plates.com is a central site which will soon be used for a range of numberplate related products and services- buyandsellnumberplates.com is a clear and catchy domain which explains exactly what the site is currently used for.

We are not a dealer- we are a marketplace for buying and selling numberplates. This means we remain unbiased and objective- making things easy for you to advertise your plate is our aim.

Whether buying or selling a numberplate you can use Smashing Plates to connect directly with other buyers and sellers. There is no middleman and no commissions to worry about- Smashing Plates is simply a marketplace- we are a third party- our only motive is to provide the best facilities for buying and selling numberplates- that´s it!

Most dealers advertise plates for sale which are "DVLA stock". The DVLA hold 20Million + registrations for sale. Dealers sell these to you on behalf of the DVLA with their mark up on top. You can find all of these registration numbers at www.dvla-som.co.uk and will save money too.

Advertising a numberplate can take months. A numberplate is a highly specialised item; advertising costs can mount up as your advert will expire and need to be relisted- our adverts don't expire- you pay a one off fee for the advert and that´s it.

As we don´t charge you to relist your advert, Smashing Plates is the most cost effective way to advertise your plate- you get a better price for your plate by dealing direct with the buyer and you benefit from future "Smashing" innovations and new features.

You may advertise your plate with a dealer of course- they handle the transfer for you and deal with the buyer. This results in a commission charge which is added to the cost of the plate. This means the price of your plate is inflated to accommodate the commission- hindering your chances of a sale.

As numberplates can take many months to sell- advertising them via "traditional" channels can become costly. Advertising on EBay or in magazines etc can soon add up. It's not to say that these are not effective ways to advertise your plate but numberplates are specialised items and need a specialised marketplace.

As we are a marketplace we do not get involved in the transaction of buying/selling or transferring the plate- we simply provide the advertising platform.

When you have sold your numberplate you can remove the advert via the "my account" section, or you can email us and we will do it for you. info@smashing-plates.com

Smashing Plates is an online marketplace for numberplates. We advertise cherished numbers on behalf of sellers- We do not sell registrations from our own stock or on behalf of the DVLA

It is against the law to mis-space or mis-represent your private plate in any way- if it is your intention to buy a registration number to mis-space it, we´d rather you didn´t buy at all.
So if you´re looking for Private Plates, Personalised Registrations or Cherished numbers to name a few of the many terms to describe Numberplates make sure you visit buyandsellnumberplates.com
Fancy or decorative fonts are not permitted on Car Registration Plates, - only UK national flags are permitted: other symbols, such as football club emblems or religious symbols may not be displayed on private car number plates. The only other font allowed as an option by the numberplate regulations is a 3D effect version of the standard font. The size and spacing of characters on registration plates is also specified.
DVLA is the body responsible for enforcing UK private number plates and car registrations regulations. All UK number plates must conform to current DVLA specs. The DVLA was formerly known as the DVLC, but that title is now obsolete and DVLA, is the only current and correct acronym. For information on the location of Agency offices within the UK please follow the link: DVLA office locations. Please note that the link goes to a SMASHING-PLATES information page created as a service to our visitors. It does not go to any part of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency site.
More information on private registration plates character spacing is to be found on the DVLA website.
