1 TPX private number plate

1 TPX is a dateless UK private registration. It has a four-character format, reading as a single number followed by three letters. This style of registration, where numbers precede letters, is generally associated with the earlier days of vehicle registration. Specifically, this format is linked to the period around 1953 to 1963, originally issued in Northumberland.

The presence of the number 1 at the beginning of the registration marks it out distinctively. Number 1 is recognised as the pinnacle number for any set of initials, carrying significant visual prominence and collector interest that typically sets it apart from higher numbers. The registration also offers strong potential for initials, reading as TPX.

This number plate has a clean, compact four-character layout, contributing to its visual appeal. It was sold at a DVLA auction on 27 February 2015, fetching a hammer price of £3,400, with an estimated buyer total of £4,406.
