10 DEN private number plate

The UK private registration 10 DEN is a dateless number-first plate, featuring two numbers followed by three letters. This short, five-character format combines the number 10 with the initials DEN. The initials DEN have decent popularity and are estimated to appeal to an above average range of buyers. This makes the plate suitable for individuals or businesses whose names or branding align with these initials.

The format with two numbers followed by three letters broadly circulated between circa 1953 and 1963 and was historically issued in locations such as Manchester. However, this specific registration was released to the open market via a DVLA auction in 1992. It sold for £5,170 (hammer price). The low number 10, while not a single digit, still benefits from being among the shorter double-digit options. Generally, within dateless plates, lower numbers and fewer digits tend to have an appeal as they offer a cleaner, more concise appearance than those with higher numbers or more characters.
