8 URY private number plate

8 URY is a four-character dateless registration. It features a single number followed by three letters, with the number appearing first. This format, where the numerical element precedes the alphabetical, is generally more sought after than reverse layouts. The short, clean layout contributes to its distinctiveness.

The number 8 holds a favourable position in the hierarchy of low-figure registrations, with single digits typically demonstrating stronger collector appeal. This, combined with the concise four-character length, creates a registration with a notable visual presence.

The initials URY offer several possibilities for personalisation, catering to individuals whose names or surnames begin with these letters. Registrations with personal initials are frequently sought after, as they provide a unique identifier.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2022. It sold for £14,260 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £18,310.
