250 SW private number plate

250 SW offers a compelling opportunity for automotive enthusiasts, directly mirroring the iconic designation of the Ferrari 250 model series. This renowned range, encompassing legendary variants such as the GTO, SWB, and California Spider, holds a special place in motoring history. The registration's numerical component, 250, aligns perfectly with this prestigious lineage, making it a distinctive choice for owners or admirers of these automotive icons.

The plate's format, three numbers followed by two letters, results in a relatively short and clean five-character registration. The "SW" initials possess strong appeal, representing a broad audience due to their common usage. Dateless registrations like this one were issued in the earliest periods of UK vehicle registration, contributing to their significant collector interest. Such plates feature a timeless look, appearing independent of any specific vehicle age marker. The "SW" identifier also carries historical significance, appearing as a two-letter area code for Carlisle, Kirkcudbright, and Dumfries, and was also used in Sheffield and Edinburgh in the original 1903 system.

250 SW was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2020. It sold for £12,853 (hammer price).
