SO 13

What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

SO 13 is a dateless registration — one of the most desirable formats in the UK personalised plate market. Dateless plates carry no year identifier, which means they can be transferred to a vehicle of any age with no restriction. This flexibility, combined with their short format and limited availability, makes dateless plates among the most sought-after on the market.

Registration History

These initials were originally issued in December 1903 and continued to be issued through to February 1952. The original issuing office is Moray C.C. (Elgin).
