3 SUF private number plate

The registration 3 SUF is a four-character dateless plate with a single number followed by three letters. Its short, clean format is a desirable characteristic, offering strong visual appeal and excellent spacing. Dateless registrations, by their nature, do not display a year identifier, lending them a timeless quality that appeals to a broad audience. The number 3, being a very low single digit number, is always a strong feature for dateless plates, offering enhanced market appeal.

The initials SUF represent a niche but potentially strong appeal for buyers seeking a personal identifier. While not the broadest of initials, they offer a distinct and memorable combination for those whose names or brands align with them. The plate's original issuance in the Essex area, with the historic F code, adds a layer of provenance for collectors interested in the early days of UK vehicle registration.

This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in August 2023. It sold for £12,010 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £15,421.
