With hundreds of millions of pounds spent on them every year, personalised number plates are big business. The DVLA sells thousands of plates, with the sought-after number and letter combinations changing hands for upwards of £100,000.

The number plates can be bought for as little as £250, but it is the rarer, more eye-catching combinations which are most sought after and when a number plate spells out a name or message, they are often wanted by an individual with a strong connection to that word.
