Plate Details

SPA 81X is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter X at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1981 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, SPA 81X can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in 1981 or earlier. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

SPA 81X was first made available in 1981. The original issuing office for this combination is Surrey 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 SPA 81X mean as a personalised plate? +

The DVLA issues registrations based on a formula of letters and numbers — the personal meaning comes from how buyers interpret the combination. SPA 81X is a popular choice for anyone named Aolxx or with a personal or professional connection to that word.
