10 RAJ private number plate

The dateless registration 10 RAJ offers a clean, five-character layout with the numbers preceding the letters. This format, consisting of two numbers followed by three letters, is associated with the era of dateless plates, which do not show a year identifier. The plate was originally issued by the Durham authority.

As an initials plate, 10 RAJ has clear appeal for individuals whose initials are RAJ. The initials RAJ are considered to have strong popularity, suggesting a broader potential buyer pool. Dateless registrations from this period are generally sought after for their classic, uncluttered appearance.

The number 10 also contributes to the plate's appeal. While not the number 1, which is in a class of its own, the number 10 represents a lower number within the two-digit band, generally considered more desirable than higher double-digit or triple-digit numbers. Fewer digits also contribute to a shorter, more memorable registration.

This specific plate was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1993. It sold for £4,653 (hammer price).
