About private number plate 1 LYW
The registration 1 LYW is a short four-character dateless plate with a distinctive layout of one number followed by three letters. It is a number 1 plate, which places it at the pinnacle for the initials LYW, making it significantly more sought after than an equivalent plate with a higher number. The single digit followed by letters offers a clean and concise aesthetic.
The initials LYW are considered niche-low-demand, but their pairing with the number 1 offers specific appeal for individuals or entities who identify with this combination. This makes 1 LYW a strong option for a personal initials buyer seeking a truly unique and prominent registration. The short length of the plate also contributes to its inherent visual appeal and memorability.
This specific registration 1 LYW was released to the open market via DVLA auction in April 2023. It sold for £7,960 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £10,221.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
