Plate Details

BEA 3Y 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, BEA 3Y 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

BEA 3Y was first made available in 1982. The original issuing office for this combination is West Bromwich 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.

• What does BEA 3Y mean as a personalised plate? +
  As a personalised number plate, BEA 3Y is most often chosen because it reads as the name or word Aaey. The DVLA issues registrations based on a formula of letters and numbers — the personal meaning comes from how buyers interpret the combination. BEA 3Y is a popular choice for anyone named Aaey or with a personal or professional connection to that word.
