About private number plate 285 S
The short, four-character registration 285 S offers a clean and appealing dateless format. Its number-letter layout is universally recognised and has the timeless look associated with dateless registrations. This type of registration format, with fewer digits, typically holds strong appeal for many buyers seeking a concise and memorable identifier.
The inclusion of a single letter suffix, in this case S, positions this registration as one that could specifically interest individuals whose names or initials begin with that letter. The numerical component, 285, is a straightforward three-digit sequence that complements the single letter effectively. The plate's structure, three numbers followed by one letter, is a classic and desirable arrangement.
This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2024. It sold for £17,010 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £21,841.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
