About private number plate 3 OB
The registration 3 OB is a short dateless plate with one number followed by two letters, a format known for its clean and concise appearance. The plate features the low number 3, which generally carries stronger appeal than higher numbers, creating a simpler and more memorable registration. This format is associated with earlier issue periods, and its brevity contributes to a more streamlined aesthetic.
The initials OB have decent popularity, indicating a mid-market appeal to a broader audience who might seek out their personal initials or those of a significant other. The number 3 can subtly suggest the letter E in some visual interpretations, offering a potential alternative reading for those looking for a letter-based personalisation within the numerical digit.
This registration was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1992. It sold for £5,200 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £6,721.
