The Full Story

IG 1 is a northern Irish (dateless) registration.

It does not spell a dictionary word or a common name, which keeps it in everyday territory: perfectly pleasant, but without the read that makes buyers compete.

On the numbers: the number 1: the single most sought-after digit there is.

Here is the headline: this exact registration has been through a DVLA auction (DVLA auction Jul 2019) and sold for £222,000. A plate's own hammer price is the strongest evidence that can exist, so our band simply brackets that real sale.

Alongside that, our estimate draws on 800 priced movements from recent ni format movements generally in our DVLA stock tracking, with a typical (median) price of £399. Worth knowing: these are DVLA retail asking prices for NEW stock at fixed price bands, so the resale market usually prices above them once a plate is no longer available new.

Search interest on our own site for this read has been quiet over the last three months (0 searches), which feeds the demand side of the picture.
