1 TUM private number plate

1 TUM is a distinctive dateless private number plate. It presents a clean, four-character format with the number 1 leading the three letters TUM. The number 1 holds significant appeal, marking it as the pinnacle for any initials it accompanies, and as such, it is typically considered substantially more sought after than other numbers.

The "1 TUM" registration falls into a highly desirable category of short, dateless plates. These registrations, which do not show a year identifier and have the clean look associated with dateless registrations, are generally favoured by collectors and those seeking a timeless aesthetic. This specific layout, with a single numeral followed by letters, is particularly appealing and aligns with formats first issued during the earliest registration eras.

With its initial set "TUM", this plate has potential for personal identification. The popularity of initials can be broad, and "TUM" presents a recognised combination. While no specific word reading has been supplied, the distinct structure of the registration makes it a strong candidate for personal initial display.

The registration 1 TUM was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2016. It sold for £7,258 (hammer price).
