1 OBT private number plate

1 OBT is a dateless, four-character registration. As number 1 is the pinnacle number for any set of initials, this plate holds significant appeal for those seeking the definitive mark for the OBT initials. Its short, desirable format contributes to its overall appeal, making it a stand-out registration for collectors and personalised plate enthusiasts.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2020. It sold for £16,705 (hammer price). The dateless format, with its single number followed by three letters, has a clean and compact aesthetic often associated with earlier styles of UK number plates. This format typically appeals to buyers looking for a registration that does not carry a year identifier.

The OBT initials are considered mid-market in terms of popularity, suggesting a broad potential buyer pool. Dateless registrations from this era, particularly those with prominent number 1, are known to attract interest from a wide range of individuals. The plate's visual simplicity and its distinction as a number 1 plate enhance its collector appeal.
