Plate Details

EST 38D is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter D at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1966 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, EST 38D can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1966 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.
