DAV 1T private number plate

DAV 1T is a five-character suffix registration. The suffix format, first introduced in August 1978, allows for a distinct three-letter sequence followed by a number and then a letter. While this format later evolved with prefix styles, the suffix era represented a key period in the development of UK vehicle registration, offering a cleaner look than earlier systems.

The number 1 is present embedded within the registration. Number 1 plates are generally considered highly desirable within the collecting community, often carrying a distinct appeal. The three letters DAV could be seen as initials, potentially representing a full name or a significant set of personal initials. The single letter T complements the remaining characters.

The registration DAV 1T has the clean look associated with dateless registrations. The five-character layout offers a balanced aesthetic, with the number 1 providing a focal point. This style of registration is typically sought after by enthusiasts and collectors looking for a memorable and visually appealing mark.

The suffix system was introduced in August 1978 and continued until July 1979 before the prefix system began. This particular registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1992. It sold for £3,361 (hammer price).
