BUL 1T private number plate

BUL 1T is a suffix-style UK private registration with a five-character format of three letters followed by two numbers. This format, LLL NL, was first introduced from around 1978 and was broadely associated with the period between August 1978 and July 1979. The number 1 is embedded within the registration, and visually, the digit 1 may sometimes be interpreted as the letter I or L, though in this instance, the primary reading is through its numerical value.

The initials BUL are considered to have niche or low demand, suggesting a more specialised potential audience for this registration. The number 1, however, is often regarded as the pinnacle for any set of initials it accompanies, having a distinct appeal that is generally considered more sought after than subsequent numbers. The shorter, five-character layout contributes to a cleaner and more memorable appearance, a characteristic often favoured in private registrations.

This registration has verified historical sale data. It featured in a DVLA auction on 19 May 2026, where it achieved a hammer price of £22,450, with an estimated buyer total of £27,748.
