ANN 71E private number plate

ANN 71E is a six-character suffix-style registration. The format is three letters followed by three characters, with the number 71 and the letter E. Suffix registrations were first introduced in 1963, and the format of this particular registration is associated with the Jan-Jul 1967 period. This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2025. It sold for £11,160 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £14,329.

The initials ANN are of decent popularity, suggesting a broader initials appeal than more niche sets. Combining these with the number 71 and the letter E offers a straightforward, clean reading. The layout of three letters followed by three characters presents a balanced and memorable arrangement.

The number 71 is a low two-digit number, generally considered more appealing than higher numbers within its band due to its brevity. Fewer digits on a plate contribute to a shorter, cleaner registration.

The registration was first listed on the open market in 2025 and has found new ownership through a DVLA auction.
