Plate Details

OCC 4S is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter S at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1977 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, OCC 4S can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1977 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Investment & Value

OCC 4S is a suffix-style registration. These plates (1963-1983) are among the oldest format plates still in circulation, and desirable combinations have appreciated significantly over recent decades. The combination Ccas and Cass is a common name, which significantly increases demand — plates that clearly represent popular names consistently attract competitive bidding and hold their value well. Personalised number plates are a tangible, portable asset. Unlike most purchases, a desirable plate retains and can appreciate in value over time.

• Why are some OCC 4S listings priced much lower than the market rate? +
