8 POL private number plate

8 POL is a dateless registration plate with a distinctive four-character format. Its layout of one number followed by three letters, adhering to the NLLL format, offers a clean and concise presentation. The number 8, held at the beginning of the registration, provides a standalone low-number appeal, a characteristic often sought after by collectors.

The initials POL are presented clearly on this dateless plate. The initials themselves are considered to have mid-market popularity, suggesting a good breadth of potential appeal to individuals whose names or business nomenclature align with these letters. Dateless registrations like 8 POL carry the timeless look associated with them, having a clean and direct appearance that does not show a year identifier. Dateless registrations of this era are highly desirable, and the number of such short, characterful plates is finite.

The format of 8 POL, with a single digit followed by three letters, is a shorter registration length, which generally enhances desirability. This style of plate, particularly those from the earlier registration periods and with fewer characters, is recognised for its strong collector interest.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2026. It sold for £12,533 (hammer price).
