Plate Details

OHB 48Y is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter Y at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1982 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, OHB 48Y can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1982. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

OHB 48Y was first made available in June 2010. The original issuing office for this combination is Merthyr Tydfil 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. OHB 48Y has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in June 2010. 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.
