123 AN private number plate

123 AN presents a concise, five-character dateless registration with three numbers followed by two letters. This format, known for its clean and straightforward appearance, makes it a desirable option for personalising a vehicle. The number sequence 123 forms an ascending run, a pattern that often appeals to collectors seeking a degree of visual order in their registration. Paired with the initials AN, the plate offers a solid basis for personal identification, aligning with surveys indicating that personal names or initials are the leading motivation for acquiring a private registration.

The structure of 123 AN, with its numbers-first dateless format, has a timeless appeal. While specific dateless plates associated with the earliest registration eras and featuring letters first tend to be more sought after, this particular format remains a strong choice for those prioritising a clear and uncluttered look. The "AN" initials themselves are considered to have decent popularity and sit in an estimated above-average range, suggesting a broad potential buyer pool.

This registration was offered to the open market via DVLA auction in 2015. It sold for £11,500 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £14,904.
