REV 1E private number plate

REV 1E is a five-character registration with a three letters, one number, one letter suffix format. The E in REV 1E functions as a standalone initial, while the letters REV offer a set of initials with decent popularity. This pattern of letters and numbers creates a clean and compact display.

A key feature of REV 1E is the number 1. For registrations that pair initials with a single digit, the number 1 is often considered significantly more appealing than higher numbers. This prominence contributes to its distinctiveness.

The suffix system, which this format belongs to, was first introduced in 1963. This specific registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 1991. It sold for £2,783 (hammer price). The suffix format was issued more broadly between January and July 1967. Original 1903 single-letter area codes indicate that R was associated with Derbyshire, E with Staffordshire, and V with Lanarkshire. Current-style memory tags show that E is associated with Essex, R with Reading, and V with Worcester.
