12 RJB private number plate

12 RJB presents a concise five-character format, combining two digits with three letters. This layout offers a clear and aesthetically pleasing registration, a characteristic often favoured by buyers. The presence of the number 12 positions it as a lower-number within its grouping, which generally increases appeal among collectors and those seeking distinctive registrations.

The initials RJB are considered strong, suggesting a broad potential buyer pool. This makes the plate suitable for individuals whose names, surnames, or business identifiers begin with these letters. The dateless nature of the registration means it does not show a year identifier, contributing to the clean, timeless look associated with older formats.

This dateless registration was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2022. It sold for £20,557 (hammer price). Historically, dateless registrations from agencies such as Lancashire County Council, which fall within the circa 1953 to 1963 window, have been a key area of interest for collectors. The style of this particular plate is consistent with the numbers-first formats of that era.

12 RJB successfully sold at a specialist auction in May 2022.
