• Why are some RUD 197S listings priced much lower than the market rate? +
  Some dealers advertise plates with a headline figure such as “from £200”, which can refer to their minimum site-wide price rather than an actual price for RUD 197S. The genuine market value of RUD 197S reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists RUD 197S at £1,745 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find RUD 197S legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.

• When was RUD 197S first issued? +
