BF 80 private number plate

BF 80 is a dateless registration with a four-character layout. It uses the popular two letters followed by two numbers format, featuring two letters followed by two numbers. This style of registration has the clean look associated with dateless registrations and is distinct for its simplicity. Historically, registrations with this format, originating from areas such as Stoke-on-Trent, were issued between around 1904 and 1932.

This registration directly mirrors iconic Ferrari models. The 'BF 80' sequence can be read as the highly sought-after Ferrari F80, a flagship supercar. Enthusiasts may also appreciate the connection to the Ferrari F8 Tributo, another desirable model within the marque's lineup. Such a clear automotive link has broad appeal for collectors and car enthusiasts.

The number 80 positions this registration within the lower end of the double-digit market, offering a classic, concise reading. Dateless registrations from this era, especially those with just two letters and two numbers, are increasingly favoured for their brevity and classic aesthetic. BF 80 was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2016. It sold for £3,629 (hammer price).
