Plate Details

CUP 9A is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter A at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1963 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, CUP 9A can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1963 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

CUP 9A was first made available in December 2005. The original issuing office for this combination is Durham C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. CUP 9A has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in December 2005. 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.
