996 V private number plate

996 V is a four-character dateless registration. Its clean, short layout offers immediate visual appeal, a notable characteristic of dateless formats from earlier registration eras. The format comprises three numbers followed by a single letter, presenting a straightforward structure that is easy to read and remember.

As a dateless registration, 996 V does not show a year identifier, giving it the timeless look associated with these sought-after plates. The presence of the letter V offers potential for personal initial appeal, a strong motivator for many buyers of private registrations according to DVLA surveys. The number 996, while not a number 1 plate, is a prominent three-digit number within its category.

The registration 996 V is particularly relevant to owners and enthusiasts of particular Porsche models. Specifically, the number 996 directly mirrors the generation code for a well-known variant of the Porsche 911. This distinct connection provides a strong motoring angle for this registration, potentially appealing to owners or admirers of that specific Porsche 911 generation.

This registration was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2021. It sold for £10,285 (hammer price).
