1 KFV private number plate

The UK number plate 1 KFV is defined by its use of the number 1, the definitive and most sought-after number for any set of initials. For a driver with the initials KFV, this registration represents the pinnacle of the series, placing it in a class apart from plates with higher numbers.

As a short four-character registration, 1 KFV has a clean and impactful look. The simple format of a single number followed by three letters is easy to read and memorise. Because it is a dateless plate, it does not show a year identifier, giving it a timeless quality that suits a wide range of vehicles. This style works well for personalisation, serving as a clear and unambiguous display of the owner’s initials.

Historical records indicate that this style of a reversed dateless registration was issued from around 1953 to 1963. The plate 1 KFV is associated with an original issue in Lanarkshire, Scotland, adding a layer of regional history to its appeal. For market context, this registration was sold at a DVLA Auction in July 2018, where it achieved a hammer price of £5,500.
