A single pdf of plate values can be downloaded here, Some councils have issued a small number of plates since I did this so the number of vehicles in some authorities could be more than what is listed.

So if the value, in just under half the amount of restricting council, is a third of a billion, is it fair to say the value of all restricted plates is over half a billion pounds? :?

And to think councils have given that all away for virtually nothing. :shock:

I think this list should be sent to the restricting councils with a note that they should derestrict

It's up to each individual council to decide whether they wish to remove numbers controls but the list will be part of the new taxi magazine so I would think every authority will get a copy.

It may interest you to know how much the last plate in Lincoln changed hands for... if any guess is spot on, I'll make a donation to my favourite charity, which is Threshers... but to give a clue, It was very, very low.
