W1 LEY is a prefix-style registration, identified by the letter W at the start of the plate. The prefix letter W corresponds to the 2000 registration period.

Registration History

W1 LEY was first made available in September 2004. The original issuing office for this combination is Anglesey C.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration. W1 LEY has DVLA auction history, having been offered at a DVLA auction in September 2004. 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.
