About private number plate 42 C
The registration 42 C is a short, three-character dateless number plate. Its format, two numbers followed by a letter, is a classic dateless style that has the clean look associated with dateless registrations. This structure typically offers strong appeal to buyers seeking a concise and distinctive registration.
As a dateless plate, 42 C does not show a year identifier, giving it a timeless look. The number 42 presents a low number within the double-digit band, which generally holds stronger appeal than higher numbers. The single letter 'C' offers potential for initials, adding a personal touch for a buyer whose name or surname begins with that letter.
This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2003. It sold for £6,500 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £8,210.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
