106 RAY private number plate

106 RAY is a six-character dateless registration. Presented in a straightforward three-number, three-letter layout, it offers a clean and balanced registration. Its format does not show a year identifier, contributing to the timeless look associated with dateless registrations. Originally issued in Somerset, this style of registration broadly dates from circa 1953 to 1963.

The registration reads as RAY, a popular surname or given name. This makes 106 RAY a strong candidate for individuals seeking to personalise their vehicle with their own name or initials. The letters RAY are considered to have niche to low demand, suggesting a more unique and less commonly encountered appeal compared to initials with broader popularity.

The number 106, while not a number 1 plate, is presented in a three-digit format, which is generally less sought after than single or double-digit numbers. This numerical aspect positions 106 RAY as a more accessible option for those prioritising a name-based reading over significant numerical hierarchy.

This specific registration was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1990. It sold for £3,795 (hammer price).
