About private number plate 8 NLY
The registration 8 NLY presents a clean, four-character format that combines a single number with three letters. Its short layout is typically sought after for its visual appeal and easy recall. As a dateless registration, it does not show a year identifier, contributing to its timeless aesthetic.
This type of registration has the potential to represent personal initials, with "NLY" forming the letter element. The number 8 is a significant low number in the hierarchy of registration values. Numbers from 2 to 9 are generally more attractive than two-digit numbers, and fewer digits overall create a shorter, cleaner registration. Such plates often appeal to individuals seeking a distinctive and personalised mark.
This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2016. It sold for £2,400 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £3,110.
Plate Circle brings together number plate history, value context, for sale listings, spotted records and verified sold-price history where available.
