Heritage plates

Rare number plate auctions - exclusive, iconic and highly sought after

Heritage number plate auctions unlock access to plates that embody history, craftsmanship and prestige. Here's why they remain some of the most coveted number plates in Australia.

Legacy

Heritage plates are faithful replicas of Victoria's first number plates, handcrafted to mid-20th century specifications. Issued between 1932 and 1939 in combinations from 1 to 285,000, they retain the original series. This limited-edition collection celebrates prestige, rarity and automotive history with timeless, iconic design.

Handcrafted

Each Heritage plate is a handcrafted masterpiece, embossed on heavy-gauge steel, finished in rich black and white vitreous enamel. No two plates are exactly the same, each reflecting the time-honoured craftsmanship of its era. Presented in a custom wooden box with a certificate of authenticity, these plates celebrate timeless prestige.

Timeless

Heritage plates are amongst the most iconic and coveted number plates in Victoria, admired for their enduring style and prestige. Their classic design and rich history make each plate a rare gem. Limited in number, owning one is not just a privilege but a connection to a lasting legacy.
