9 LOY private number plate

9 LOY is a four-character dateless registration with a clean, numbers-first layout. Its concise format and dateless appearance give it a timeless quality that appeals to collectors. As a number-based registration, 9 LOY carries the appeal of a low number, with the single digit '9' offering a strong starting point. Registrations of this style, featuring a low digit followed by three letters, are generally sought after for their brevity and visual appeal, and the DVLA has noted the finite supply and rarity of such formats.

The three letters LOY are likely to appeal to individuals seeking to represent their initials. The initials LOY are considered to be in the niche to low demand category, suggesting a degree of exclusivity for those bearing these initials. The appeal of initials on a private registration is well documented, with surveys indicating it is a primary motivation for buyers.

9 LOY was released to the open market via DVLA auction in February 2024. It sold for £3,110 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £3,993.
