1 OHB private number plate

1 OHB is a distinctive four-character dateless registration. Its number-first format, with a single digit followed by three letters, presents a clean and timeless look. As a dateless plate, it does not show a year identifier, offering a classic aesthetic.

The pinnacle number 1 makes this registration significantly more sought after than similar plates featuring higher numbers. This is especially true when paired with initials, as 1 OHB represents the definitive number 1 combination for the 'OHB' initial set. The 'OHB' initials themselves are considered to have decent popularity, suggesting a broader potential buyer pool.

This registration format is generally more desirable due to its brevity and clean presentation. Dateless plates from the era when this style of registration was first issued, with fewer digits, are typically favoured by collectors and those seeking a classic presentation. The format of one number followed by three letters holds particular appeal.

This particular registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2020. It sold for £9,039 (hammer price).
