VEN 1S private number plate

VEN 1S is a suffix-style UK private number plate with a five-character format, comprising three letters followed by one number and one letter. The registration has a clean, straightforward layout that is easy to read, reflecting the aesthetic commonly associated with vehicles from the suffix era. The number 1 signifies the pinnacle for this particular combination of initials, offering a strong visual presence.

This format typically denotes registrations issued between August 1977 and July 1978. While the registration format does not display a year identifier, its suffix style is characteristic of that period. The number 1 is a notable feature within registration hierarchy, offering a distinct appeal. The initials VEN combined with the number 1 and S present a striking three plus two character split, which can be visually appealing.

The suffix system, which includes registrations of this type, was introduced in 1963 and ran until 1983. The introduction of current-style registrations from September 1, 2001, established a new format that differs significantly from the suffix style represented by VEN 1S.
