22 BE private number plate

The registration 22 BE offers a compact four-character format, combining two numbers with two letters. This two numbers, one letter followed by one letter style is a popular choice for its clean visual presence and straightforward readability.

The registration carries a strong association with performance vehicles, specifically mirroring designations made famous by Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru. Notably, it directly relates to the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, including the iconic 22B variant, making it potentially appealing to enthusiasts of these marques.

As a dateless registration, 22 BE does not display a year identifier, contributing to its timeless look. The presence of repeated identical digits, the number 22, provides a distinct visual pattern. Such repetition can enhance memorability and collector appeal, fitting into a niche of patterned registrations. Furthermore, the initials BE offer broad appeal to individuals with those initials, aligning with a leading motivation for personalised plate acquisition.

This registration format was first offered to the open market via DVLA auction in 1990. It sold for £6,705 (hammer price). It belongs to a category of registrations that did not exist in circulation before that date. The BE region code was historically associated with Lincoln (Grimsby).
