C1 TAR private number plate

The registration C1 TAR is a prefix-style plate with a strong standalone number paired with a three-letter combination. The layout uses one letter and one number followed by three letters, creating a total of five characters. The number 1 in C1 TAR is a distinct feature, often seen as a pinnacle for registrations with this structure, and significantly more sought after than higher numbers for the same combination of letters. The overall length is short and concise, contributing to its visual appeal and memorability.

The initials 'TAR' are considered to have decent popularity, suggesting broader appeal to individuals with those initials. This prefix format has the characteristic look of registrations introduced from 1983 onwards. While this specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1992, the C-prefix format was historically associated with registrations issued between August 1985 and July 1986, with the single letter 'C' denoting West Riding of Yorkshire during the original 1903 single-letter area code allocations. It sold for £1,422 (hammer price).
