ALB 10N private number plate

The private number plate ALB 10N is a suffix-style registration with a six-character format, featuring three letters followed by two numbers and then a final letter. This layout creates the distinct appearance of "ALBION" by using the 1 as an 'I' and the 0 as an 'O'. The ability of ALB 10N to spell "ALBION" directly aligns with its classification as a word-reading plate and may appeal to those with a connection to the name or the numerous clubs, teams, and places associated with it. The suffix format was first issued from 1963 to 1983; this specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1990. It sold for £19,000 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £24,035.
