Suffix number plates are among the most recognisable and collectible registration styles in the UK. Introduced in 1963 and used until 1982, they feature a distinctive format such as “ABC 123A”, where the final letter represents the year of issue.
These classic plates carry a sense of heritage and authenticity, making them a popular choice for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a vintage touch. Despite their age, suffix registrations can be assigned to newer vehicles, letting owners add a retro charm to modern cars.
