5 OCX private number plate

5 OCX presents a straightforward and appealing four-character format, combining a single low number with three letters. Its numbers-first layout, typical of dateless registrations from the circa 1953 to 1963 period, ensures a clean and uncluttered appearance. This style of registration, with fewer characters, is generally more sought after for its visual impact and ease of recall.

The initial focus for this plate is its potential as a personal initials plate. The letters OCX, while not in the highest tier of popularity, present a distinct combination that may appeal to individuals with those specific initials. The number 5, positioned at the start of the registration, is a low-digit number which typically holds a strong appeal within the dateless registration market. Combined, these elements create a registration that has the look of classic UK number plate heritage.

The registration 5 OCX first entered circulation through a DVLA auction in 2015. It sold for £3,370 (hammer price).
