Single S in 1800, before Raffles landed

from 1900-1972. divide roughly i guess.

 

Private car licence plate numbers began in the early 1900s when Singapore was one of the four Straits Settlements, with a single prefix 'S', then adding a suffix letter S 'A' to S 'Y', but skipping a few like S 'H' and S 'Z' (reserved for taxis and buses), S 'D' (reserved for municipal vehicles), and S 'G' for goods vehicles large and small. No changes were made when Singapore became independent in 1965. Later, the suffix was added. Previously there was no suffix, for example, SS1234, as in the vehicle registration plates of Malaysia.

 

When 'S' was exhausted at SY, in January 1972, Private cars started with E, Motorbikes with A and Goods Vehicles under 3 tonnes with Y. E was followed by EA, EB with the letters EC in 1973 up to EZ. From 1984, the "S" series of number plates was launched again, but now with two serial suffix letters, starting from SBA. Currently, as of December 2009, the SJV series is in issue for private cars.

So the E plates we see running around have been in circulation since 1984?

1) How many are left

2) How many leave the roads each year

3) Can these be sold

4) What is the most one has changed hands for?
