16 N private number plate

16 N is a compact three-character dateless registration. Its short format contributes to a clean and memorable aesthetic, characteristics that are generally favoured in the private number plate market. The "two numbers followed by one letter" layout, with two numbers followed by a single letter, offers a distinct visual appeal.

As a dateless registration, 16 N does not display a year identifier. This timeless look is a key appeal of plates from this era, offering a clean presentation on any vehicle. The dateless format, historically issued prior to 1963, represents a significant class of registrations that often hold particular interest for collectors.

The number 16, positioned at the start of the registration, is a low number within the two-digit sequence, a characteristic that tends to enhance collector appeal. The single letter 'N' at the end presents an opportunity for personal interpretation, such as using it as an initial.

The plate 16 N was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2001. It sold for £6,100 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £7,884.
