The combination Bbbbbbb is a common name, which significantly increases demand — plates that clearly represent popular names consistently attract competitive bidding and hold their value well. Personalised number plates are a tangible, portable asset. Unlike most purchases, a desirable plate retains and can appreciate in value over time.
