MAM 1E private number plate

MAM 1E is a five-character UK private registration with a suffix-style format. The alphanumeric sequence reads as MAM 1E, combining three letters with a number and a final letter. This suffix era format was first introduced in 1967, distinguishing it from earlier dateless plates.

The registration holds particular appeal for enthusiasts of Aston Martin vehicles, as the combination of letters and numbers directly mirrors the "MAM" initials often associated with the iconic marque. The "1E" suffix sequence also contains the number 1, which is widely recognised as a desirable element for personalised plates, representing the pinnacle number for any set of initials.

The prefix system, which began in August 1983, eventually replaced this suffix format. Plates from the suffix era, such as MAM 1E, typically do not display a year identifier, lending them a clean, timeless look. This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1991. It sold for £3,542 (hammer price).
