WC 43 private number plate

WC 43 is a short, four-character dateless registration. Its format of two letters followed by two numbers is associated with the earliest periods of UK vehicle registration, offering a clean and straightforward appearance. Numbers-first dateless plates are generally considered less sought after than comparable letters-first examples from this era, as the latter tend to be linked to earlier issue periods, adding to their historical collector interest.

As a dateless registration, WC 43 does not show a year identifier, contributing to its timeless appeal. Such plates are often favoured for their concise presentation and historical context. The initials WC are considered to have decent appeal, suggesting a potentially broad audience of buyers looking for a personal identifier.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2020. It sold for £7,075 (hammer price).
