Cheap dateless plates

The lowest priced numbers are registrations from Northern Ireland. These Irish plates may also be fitted to cars in England, Scotland and Wales and are very popular with people who wish to hide the age of their cars, as they don't have an obvious year letter. We have a useful breakdown of how dateless number plates are composed.

Why are Irish numbers so cheap?

Registrations from Northern Ireland are mostly popular amongst people who want to conceal their vehicle's age. As these numbers are always being issued they are plentiful.
