Plate Details

TAN 1T is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter T at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1978 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, TAN 1T can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1978. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

TAN 1T was first made available in April 1993. The original issuing office for this combination is West Ham (C.B.C.) Ex MAN. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. TAN 1T has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in April 1993. 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.
