1 TJU private number plate

1 TJU represents a highly desirable four character, dateless registration. The number 1 holds a unique position in the appeal hierarchy of registrations, typically recognised as the pinnacle for any set of initials. This prefix format, with its single number followed by three letters (one number followed by three letters), is also a highly sought-after style. Registrations from this era, characterised by their clean, timeless look as they do not show a year identifier, are distinct from current style plates.

The initials TJU are considered to be of niche demand, suggesting a degree of rarity. Coupled with the prominence of the number 1 and the short, dateless format, 1 TJU presents a strong combination of attributes for collectors. The DVLA identified that personal connection, particularly via names or initials, is the leading motivation for buyers considering a private registration, highlighting the appeal of this format.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2019. It sold for £8,165 (hammer price).
