Plate Details

RTF 1Y 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, RTF 1Y can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1982 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

RTF 1Y was first made available in 1982. The original issuing office for this combination is Lancashire C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration.
