Plate Details

172 EON is a dateless registration — one of the most desirable formats in the UK personalised plate market. Dateless plates carry no year identifier, which means they can be transferred to a vehicle of any age with no restriction. This flexibility, combined with their short format and limited availability, makes dateless plates among the most sought-after on the market.

Registration History

172 EON was first made available in 1961. The original issuing office for this combination is Birmingham 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.
