1 HKW private number plate

The registration 1 HKW is the definitive number one plate for the initials HKW. In the private number plate market, the number 1 holds a unique status, standing apart from all other digits. For anyone with these initials, this registration is the pinnacle, generally considered significantly more sought after than the same letters paired with any higher number.

The short four-character format gives 1 HKW a clean and balanced appearance. As a dateless registration, it has the timeless look associated with plates that do not show a year identifier. Its numbers-first layout is a classic style that continues to have strong appeal, while the initials HKW themselves are likely to interest a good number of potential owners.

This registration is from a format broadly associated with the 1953 to 1963 period. Historical records indicate that it was originally issued in Sheffield, adding a specific regional context to its story.

The plate has a verified sale history, appearing at a DVLA Auction on 24th November 2016, where it sold for a hammer price of £7,100. The estimated total for the buyer at the time was approximately £9,202.
