• Why are some BES 51E listings priced much lower than the market rate? +
  Some dealers advertise plates with a headline figure such as “from £200”, which can refer to their minimum site-wide price rather than an actual price for BES 51E. The genuine market value of BES 51E reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists BES 51E at £20,995 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find BES 51E legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.

• When was BES 51E first issued? +
  BES 51E was first made available at a DVLA auction in April 2002, when the registration was released to the public for the first time.
