40 O private number plate

40 O is a concise and distinctive dateless UK private registration. With just three characters, it boasts a highly desirable short format, setting it apart from longer plates. Its structure combines two numbers followed by a single letter, presenting a clean and easily memorable arrangement.

This registration offers immediate appeal to buyers seeking personal identification, as the single letter 'O' can represent a single initial. The numeric component, 40, places it within the lower band of double-digit numbers, generally a more sought-after category than higher number sequences. The dateless quality means it has the timeless look associated with registrations from the earliest eras, without displaying a year identifier. This particular registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2015. It sold for £41,500 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £53,784.
