Plate Details

PPR 17A 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, PPR 17A can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1963. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

PPR 17A was first made available in November 2015. The original issuing office for this combination is Dorsetshire C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. PPR 17A has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in November 2015. 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.
