Plate Details

NOS 73M is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter M at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1973 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, NOS 73M can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1973. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

NOS 73M was first made available in 1973. The original issuing office for this combination is Wigtown C.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 NOS 73M mean as a personalised plate? +
  As a personalised number plate, NOS 73M is most often chosen because it reads as the name or word Stem. The DVLA issues registrations based on a formula of letters and numbers — the personal meaning comes from how buyers interpret the combination. NOS 73M is a popular choice for anyone named Stem or with a personal or professional connection to that word.
