PER 1T private number plate

PER 1T is a five-character UK private registration with a suffix format, placing it within the period of August 1978 to July 1979. This format typically features three letters followed by a number and a letter, a structure that remains recognisable to collectors and enthusiasts.

The registration includes the number 1, which is recognised as holding a distinct appeal within the hierarchy of UK number plates. For certain initials, the number 1 is considered the pinnacle, representing the most sought-after numeral. The "T" at the end of the registration does not carry a year identifier, contributing to the clean look associated with dateless registrations.

The presence of the initial "PER" offers potential for personalised readings. While no specific word or name reading has been supplied, such initials can appeal to individuals whose first name or surname begins with these letters, aligning with the primary motivation for many buyers as indicated by DVLA surveys. The initial "T" also adds to the potential for personalised combinations.

The suffix registration format itself has a history tied to specific allocation periods. The registration system, established by the Motor Car Act of 1903, has evolved over the decades, with formats like the suffix providing a distinctive visual style. This particular registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1991. It sold for £1,898 (hammer price).
