MN 8 is an MN registration, the island's original registration code. Marks in the MN N layout are issued by the Isle of Man Department of Infrastructure, and MN has identified Manx vehicles since registration began on the island.
It belongs to the arrangement of MN followed by a number (MN 1 to MN 9999), which the Isle of Man Public Record Office records as being used from January 1906 to March 1935. Vehicle registration began on the island in January 1906.
MN 8 falls within MN 1 to MN 100, so it was one of the first 100 Isle of Man vehicle registrations ever issued, from the opening of the island's register in 1906. Plate Circle is building a photographic record of all 100 of these marks.
A single figure is the shortest and most collectable number a Manx mark can carry. At 3 characters it is a compact registration to read and to display.
Those dates describe the series. The individual first issue date of MN 8, and the vehicle it was first issued to, have not been verified from original Isle of Man Public Record Office entries.
Plate Circle keeps one page per registration. Marketplace availability, spotted photographs taken around the island, recorded sold prices and valuation context for MN 8 all sit on this page, whether or not it is for sale today.
