Many people feel that dateless private number plates offer the best option when buying a registration number as it allows the driver to hide the true age of their vehicle. However, they can often be a more expensive option.

There are, however, some cost-effective alternatives. Take Irish registrations, for example. A number plate such as JEZ 5947, MEZ 4027 or LEZ 4565 is likely to set you back under £100. There are also some cheap British dateless number plates which attract many buyers. For example, 447 UXV, LTX 406 and 643 XUB would all be relatively inexpensive.

Dateless number plates hide the age of the vehicle, and offer a kind of 'mask' for your car. You've just bought a fantastic car which you've put hours into keeping clean and sparkling clean. Do you really want everyone to know it's actually almost ten years old? A dateless private number plate is sure to give a whole new lease of life to your car.
