Number plates by car brand
Find the perfect plate for your car
Each car brand has its own plate market — the patterns Porsche owners chase are nothing like what Range Rover or Tesla buyers pay for. Pick your brand below for a hand-curated pattern shortlist, honest pricing and live marketplace matches.
Audi
Number plates for Audi owners — S, RS, R8 and quattro references
Audi enthusiasts pay a premium for plates that echo their model — RS3, RS6, R8, S1, TT, Q7 — as well as anything containing 'AUDI', 'quattro' or the four-ringed AUD/AUDI letter runs. Prefix and current-style plates dominate this market because the letters line up cleanly.

BMW plates — M2, M3, M4, M5, M8, i, and Alpina patterns
BMW is one of the most active enthusiast markets on the UK plate scene. M-car buyers hunt for M3, M4, M5, M8 letter-and-number combinations, while E-chassis and F-chassis codes (E46, E92, F80, F90, G80) command steady premiums.

Mercedes and AMG number plates — SLS, SL, CLS, GT and AMG runs
Mercedes owners split into two camps: AMG buyers chasing the three letters or model codes (C63, E63, GT R, SLS, SL 65), and classic buyers hunting for MB, MERC and Benz references. Both drive strong resale.

Porsche number plates — 911, GT3, GT2 RS, Turbo S and Cayman
The Porsche plate market is small, sophisticated and price-insensitive. 911 in any format is the holy grail; GT3, GT2, RS, Turbo and Carrera derivatives follow closely behind. Enthusiasts pay a premium for cleanly-formed patterns with no extra characters.

Range Rover, Land Rover and SVR number plates
Range Rover buyers dominate the SUV plate market. Anything containing RR, SVR, LR, LAND, ROVR or the model tiers (Vogue, Sport, Autobiography) sells fast. Short single- and double-digit numeric plates carry serious weight on premium 4x4s.

Tesla number plates — Model S, 3, X, Y and Plaid patterns
Tesla buyers are word-plate buyers. The winning combinations spell TESLA, ELON, EV, PLAID or the model letters (S, 3, X, Y). Newer current-style formats work particularly well because the age identifier fits cleanly around a single-letter model code.

Ford number plates — RS, ST, Cosworth, Mustang and GT
Ford's plate market is dominated by fast-Ford heritage: RS, ST, Cosworth, Escort, Sierra, Focus RS, Fiesta ST, Mustang and GT. The classic RS badge in particular carries a strong following well beyond the value of most Ford models.

Volkswagen and Golf GTI / R plates
The VW plate market is really the Golf plate market — GTI, R, R32, Mk1 through Mk8 references, plus VW letter runs. Camper enthusiasts also drive strong prices on Type 2 and 'BUS' style patterns.
