MED 1C private number plate

MED 1C is a suffix-style UK private registration featuring a prominent number one. The registration has five characters in total, with a three-letter, two-character layout (three letters followed by one number, one letter). This format is common for suffix registrations, which were first issued from August 1963. Broadly speaking, suffix-era registrations were issued between August 1963 and July 1983.

The number one in MED 1C is a significant feature for collectors. In the hierarchy of UK private registrations, the number 1 is often considered the pinnacle for a sequence of initials. While all low numbers hold particular appeal, number 1 stands apart, commanding attention and interest within the collector market. This registration also presents the initials MED and C, which may appeal to individuals with those initials or a connection to them.

The structure of MED 1C, with its embedded number one, creates a clean and memorable registration. The combination of letters and a single digit, followed by a single letter, results in a concise five-character plate. This format generally appeals to those seeking a straightforward yet distinctive registration, and the presence of the number one further enhances its visual impact and collector desirability.

This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1992. It sold for £3,878 (hammer price).
