Although this type of plate is often referred to as an ‘Irish number plate’ – these registration marks actually come from Northern Ireland – and they’re a cost-effective way of disguising the age of a vehicle to other road-goers.

These plates are often three letters and between one to four numbers – making plates like ‘GIL 4321’. Of course, you can also go a little short too – like ‘ABZ 96’.

The first letter on the plate actually indicates the age of registration mark and the following two letters represent the original city or county of origin.

Northern Irish personalised plates always include either an ‘I’ or a ‘Z’ somewhere in the combination of letters – so if your name includes those letters, you’re in with a chance of finding a bargain plate that’s a perfect fit for you.

Even the latest prefix plate is now approaching 20 years old – so adding one to your car will make it stand out from the crowd and hide its true age.

Prefix plates are also a great gift for someone you love – and the right plate can be an amazing investment too.

Cherished plates – sometimes called ‘dateless number plates’ are some of the most impressive private registrations you’ll see on the road.

This kind of registration dates back to 1903 – when cars were first required to display their unique identifying number. Back then, there were so few vehicles on the road that sometimes just a single letter and a single number were needed – which is how cherished plates like ‘F 1’ came to exist.

Of course, not all of these dateless plates are quite that exclusive. They can include up to three letters and three numbers – like ‘SAM 123’.

Reverse dateless plates are sometimes a more cost-effective way of putting a cherished number plate on your vehicle too. They place the numbers and letters the other way around – allowing for plates like ‘321 BEN’. You can also find reverse dateless plates with two letters and four numbers – like ‘1701 SK’

Suffix plates are registration marks with the year of issue represented by a letter at the end of the plate. So, registrations like ‘ABC 123D’ become possible.

Although these plates were around for 30 years - only a limited number of letters were ever used, making them slightly more exclusive than some other personalised plates today.

Since suffix plates start with three letters, they can be an effective way of spelling out names, interests, jobs, and a host of other words. Although many suffix plates follow a three letters, three numbers, one letter format – there are one and two-digit numbers available too – making registrations like ‘BOX 3R’, ‘MAG 1C’, and ‘SUF 11X’ possible.
