Plate Details

ACL 3E is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter E at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1967 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, ACL 3E can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1967. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

ACL 3E was first made available in February 2025. The original issuing office for this combination is Norwich 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. ACL 3E has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in February 2025. 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.

• Can I put ACL 3E on my car? +
