WEB 3Y private number plate

WEB 3Y is a suffix-style UK private registration with a five-character layout of three letters followed by two characters. This format was introduced in August 1982 and ran until July 1983. The registration carries a low number value of 3, which tends to have stronger appeal than higher numbers within its digit band. The initials WEB do not form a particularly common reading, placing them in the 'decent' category for popularity, suggesting a good potential buyer pool.

The plate was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2021. It sold for £16,340 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £20,981. While the suffix format itself has a history dating back to 1963, this specific registration's journey into public circulation began in the 21st century.

WEB 3Y does not show a year identifier, giving it the clean look associated with dateless registrations. The combination of the letters WEB and the number 3, followed by the letter Y, creates a distinctive sequential reading. The suffix era format is often sought after by collectors and individuals looking for a specific style of registration.
