KOP 177E private number plate

KOP 177E is a suffix-style UK private number plate. Its format of three letters followed by three numbers and a final letter, known as three letters followed by three numbers, one letter, was first introduced in 1963. This particular registration dates from the period between August 1967 and July 1968, representing the suffix year code D.

The initials KOP are considered to have mid-market popularity, suggesting a respectable breadth of potential buyer appeal. The number 177 is a three-digit number within the 100 to 999 band, which typically holds less collector interest than single or double-digit numbers. The overall character count is seven, offering a substantial yet readable registration.

The Suffix style, which ran from 1963 to 1983, does not show a year identifier and has the clean look associated with dateless registrations, though it does indicate a specific year of issue. The leading letter 'E' in the registration could be interpreted as a memory tag for an area such as Essex, under the current DVLA regional office system, suggesting a potential local connection for buyers in that region.
