Some people build up amazing collections of private number plates in the course of their lives. Once such collection is the SAW plates, which were purchased by Midlands saw blade supply company, Dynashape Ltd. The entire collection consists of SAW 1, SAW 2, SAW 3, SAW 4, SAW 5, SAW 6, SAW 7, SAW 8, SAW 9, SAW 10, SAW 11, SAW 123 and SAW 1T. It is believed that the company’s owner has amassed the largest known collection of consecutive personalised registration plates in the entire country.

SAW 6 was actually the first of the plates to be purchased, back in 1972 and over the following years the owner continued to seek out the others by answering ads and speaking to auto-numerology experts. The prices of the plates varied considerably, with some costing just a few hundred pounds while others have cost several thousand. The seller of one plate was able to purchase a new car with the proceeds.

The owner of this collection always believed that the number plates were an investment for his retirement and that when that day came he would sell them on. His belief is that the money he can make from the sale of the plates will provide a comfortable life for him in his later years.

Now that the company is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, the owner has made the decision to retire and finally sell this amazing collection of personalised registrations.
