About private number plate 42 NN
42 NN is a short, four-character dateless registration that features a clean and balanced layout. The two-number, two-letter structure provides a straightforward appearance that is highly regarded by collectors for its simplicity and visual harmony. The inclusion of identical repeated letters contributes to the symmetry of the registration, creating a balanced look that is often sought after for its ease of recognition and understated aesthetic.
The registration provides an excellent platform for those interested in initials. While the format follows a classic convention associated with early vehicle identification schemes in the United Kingdom, it entered the open market via a DVLA auction in 2014. It sold for £2,500 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £3,240. As a low-number plate within the two-digit band, it possesses a level of appeal that aligns well with the broader preference for shorter, more concise registrations.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
