ETH 601N private number plate

The suffix registration ETH 601N carries a seven character layout of three letters, three numbers, and a final letter. This format dates from August 1974 to July 1975. While the letters ETH do not form a recognised word or name, they offer a strong set of initials for those with that particular combination. The numerical element, 601, is a standard three-digit number within this era, and the final N acts as the year identifier for that period.

This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2021. It sold for £14,381 (hammer price). As a result, it does not display a year identifier and has the clean look associated with dateless registrations. The structure of the plate offers a straightforward reading, making it easily recognisable.

The appeal of registrations from this period often lies in their distinct format and the potential for personal expression through initials. ETH 601N presents a clear initial set with a standard numerical sequence, suitable for individuals seeking a recognisable registration from the mid-1970s era.
