About private number plate 40 PY
40 PY offers a tight, four-character dateless format, presenting a classic "two numbers followed by two letters" structure. This layout is generally more sought after than longer registrations and has the clean, timeless look associated with dateless plates.
The initials provided are PY. While this set holds niche appeal, its abbreviation potential can be a draw for specific buyers. The number 40 is positioned in the lower end of the double-digit range, contributing to its relatively compact and appealing read.
This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2016. It sold for £4,600 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £5,962.
