82 O private number plate

82 O is a compact, three-character dateless registration. Its short format contributes to its clean and desirable appearance, a characteristic commonly sought after in the private number plate market. The registration is presented in a numbers-first layout, followed by a single letter.

This plate offers potential for personal initials, with the 'O' serving as a distinct letter. Dateless registrations of this style, particularly those with fewer characters, carry a strong sense of classic appeal, reflecting an era before modern year identifiers were introduced. The format itself is indicative of an older issuing system, contributing to its collector interest.

The number 82, being a lower double-digit figure, follows the general hierarchy of desirability for numbers within the dateless range. Registrations with fewer digits typically hold broader appeal due to their visual neatness and ease of reading. The overall presentation of 82 O is straightforward and memorable, making it an approachable option for those seeking a personalised mark.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in May 2023. It sold for £70,000 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £89,880.
