Plate Details

DAT 3L is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter L at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1972 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, DAT 3L can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1972 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

DAT 3L was first made available in March 2024. The original issuing office for this combination is Kingston upon Hull C.B.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. DAT 3L has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in March 2024. The DVLA cherished transfer programme was launched in 1989, opening previously reserved registrations to the public for the first time. Plates are selected for DVLA auctions based on their perceived collectability and desirability — an auction appearance is a recognised indicator of a registration's historical market standing and collector appeal.
