About private number plate J42 MES
The prefix plate J42 MES is a six-character registration that takes on the appearance of the name James, with the 4 visually substituting for an A. This reading offers a strong personal connection, making it of interest to individuals with the given name James. The final letters MES also present a strong set of initials.
The prefix style of registration, with its one letter followed by two numbers and then three letters, was introduced from August 1983. This specific registration, J42 MES, was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2020. It sold for £80,020 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £102,746. The layout is clean and straightforward, typical of prefix-era plates. Registrations that clearly spell out a name or surname generally have a broader appeal and can be highly sought after for personal identification.
