3 FCB private number plate

3 FCB is a four-character dateless registration with a number-letter format, a single digit followed by three letters. Dateless plates carry the clean look associated with registrations not showing a year identifier and often have a strong collector appeal.

The number 3 at the start of 3 FCB is a standalone low number. In common with other lower numbers, and with registrations featuring fewer digits, this format is generally considered more sought after. This specific layout, one number followed by three letters, is a short and recognised style of dateless registration.

As an initials plate, 3 FCB offers clear potential for personalisation. The letters FCB represent a set with decent, broad appeal among potential buyers in the UK market. Such registrations are often sought after by individuals looking to display their initials.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2015. It sold for £1,700 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £2,203.
