10 SSP private number plate

10 SSP is a dateless UK private registration with two numbers followed by three letters, a clean, five-character format. It features the double-digit number 10, which belongs to the 10 to 99 range and is generally considered more sought after than longer numbers with three or four digits. The number 10 comes before the initials SSP.

The initials SSP have decent popularity, suggesting a broader appeal to buyers whose names begin with these letters or who find a personal connection. These initials are estimated to be above average in popularity, indicating a good potential audience. This specific registration, 10 SSP, was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2021. It sold for £16,204 (hammer price).

The format with numbers followed by letters, such as 10 SSP, represents a style that was broadly issued between circa 1953 and 1963 in a reversed form. The original issuing authority for similar registrations was Surrey in South East England. While this format is associated with the mid-20th century, this particular registration was first made available more recently.
