BOX 1N private number plate

BOX 1N is a five-character UK private number plate with a suffix era format. The registration's structure is three letters followed by a number and a letter, offering a clean, recognisable layout. While not a word or name itself, the sequence of letters BOX followed by the number 1 and the letter N presents a distinctive alphanumeric combination.

The number 1 is a significant element within private registrations. While it does not form a word or name on its own, its presence holds particular appeal within the hierarchy of cherished number plates. This plate's format places the number 1 directly after the initial letter block, contributing to its visual composition. The BOX initials, while identified as niche in terms of broad demand, add a distinct character to the plate.

The suffix era format, which this registration uses, was introduced in 1963 and continued until 1983. Registrations from this period often have a strong collector following due to their historical association with earlier vehicle registration systems. These plates generally do not show a year identifier, presenting a more timeless look. This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1992. It sold for £5,429 (hammer price).
