About private number plate 3 PD
The registration 3 PD is a three-character dateless plate, featuring one number followed by two letters. This short format, measuring just three characters, creates a concise and memorable look. The leading digit, 3, is a very low number, which typically carries stronger appeal than higher numbers with a comparable layout.
The PD initials have a mid-market popularity, indicating a fair breadth of likely UK buyers. Initials-based registrations often appeal to individuals or businesses seeking to personalise a vehicle with their own or a relevant organisation's letters.
Registrations with a single number followed by two letters are among the shortest formats available, offering a clean and distinct presentation. This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1993. It sold for £4,000 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £5,170.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
