43 CY private number plate

This four-character dateless registration, 43 CY, offers a concise and appealing format. Its structure of two numbers followed by two letters presents a clean, balanced appearance, which typically holds strong appeal for buyers. The format also ensures it is a shorter registration, a characteristic often sought after in the private number plate market.

The initials CY form the primary personalised angle for this registration. While not among the most common initial sets, CY can represent a wide range of personal names and surnames, offering broad potential for individual buyers. The registration also has a historical connection to Swansea, as indicated by the CY issuing authority code from the pre-2001 era.

As a dateless registration, 43 CY does not display a year identifier, contributing to the timeless look associated with these earlier formats. Registrations from the dateless era, particularly those with fewer characters, are generally considered by collectors and enthusiasts to have a distinct appeal.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2020. It sold for £4,057 (hammer price).
