20 TAP private number plate

The 20 TAP registration is a five-character plate with a dateless format, presenting two numbers followed by three letters. This style, known as two numbers followed by three letters, was historically issued between circa 1953 and 1963. The plate carries the initials set TAP, which may appeal to individuals with these or related initials.

The numbering style of 20 TAP is representative of registrations from the 10 to 99 band. Within the dateless category, registrations with fewer digits and lower numbers generally hold enhanced appeal due to their cleaner appearance and historical association with earlier issue periods. Plates of this format, particularly those with clear initial combinations, are often sought after by those looking to personalise their vehicle with a memorable and distinctive mark.

The format of 20 TAP does not display a year identifier, offering the clean look associated with dateless registrations. Such plates can bring a sense of timelessness to a vehicle, aligning with the straightforward appeal of early registration marks. This particular registration was first released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1991. It sold for £2,024 (hammer price).
