282 JAW private number plate

282 JAW is a six-character dateless UK private registration. The format, three numbers followed by three letters, is commonly referred to as three numbers followed by three letters. This style of registration does not show a year identifier and has the clean look associated with dateless registrations.

This registration features the initials JAW, a combination with strong appeal among UK buyers. Initial-based registrations are a leading motivation for purchasing personalised plates, suggesting JAW could be a highly desirable identifier for individuals with those initials. The number 282 adds a classic three-digit numerical element.

The underlying system for this type of registration has a long history, originating from the Motor Car Act 1903 which established the requirement for vehicles to carry identifying marks. The format itself, however, is dateless and was issued across various authorities before 1963. Notably, this specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1990. It sold for £1,645 (hammer price).
