102 V private number plate

The registration 102 V presents a four-character, dateless format, featuring three numbers followed by a single letter. This compact layout, with fewer digits than later styles, contributes to a clean and streamlined appearance, often favoured by collectors.

As a dateless registration, 102 V does not show a year identifier, giving it the timeless look associated with older formats. This style appeals to buyers seeking a registration that stands apart from current or past year identifiers. The historic code V, associated with Lanarkshire in Scotland, adds a layer of regional provenance, though its original issue period is not specified beyond being dateless.

The registration's numerical sequence of 102, while not a single digit, represents a lower number within the three-digit band. Combined with the single-letter suffix, this format is generally more sought after than longer, more complex registrations. The primary appeal lies in its concise structure and its potential as a personal initial.

102 V is available via DVLA auction, first entering circulation in 2025. It sold for £13,485 (hammer price). This means it is a modern release, not a genuine period issue.
