Steven, I think unfortunately PPQ only care about revenue and don’t give a second thought to the value of privately owned Q plates, so the only upside to that is that they should be happy to create a new Q plate series for motorcycles. It feels to me that PPQs actions mean there are three distinct Q plate categories.
1. Original Q plates still attached to their original car. Super cool history, but these are generally 6 digit plates.
2. Plates sold at the Great Plate Auction In 1985. Rare and desirable numbers, limited volume, quality plate construction.
3. Any of the remaining hundreds of thousands of Q plate options available to buy for $3000-$5000 via PPQ. Plentiful, poor plate construction and easily identifiable as ‘built to a price’ compared to option 2.
