17 LAD private number plate

17 LAD is a dateless UK private registration that can represent the initials LAD. The combination of two numbers followed by three letters, 17 LAD, provides a clear and straightforward presentation for a set of initials. The three letters LAD are considered mid-market in terms of popularity, suggesting a decent breadth of appeal for those with matching initials.

Registrations with fewer characters tend to be more sought after due to their short, clean appearance. This 5-character dateless format, with its two numbers followed by three letters, contributes to that aesthetic. The plate was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1992. It sold for £1,422 (hammer price). The value 17 is a double-digit number. While low single-digit numbers are generally more sought after than double-digit numbers, the 10 to 99 number band is typically more desirable than three or four-digit numbers when considering comparable formats.
