RU22 ELL private number plate

RU22 ELL is a current-style UK private registration that stands out with its matched pair of twenty-two. The repetition of the number 22 creates visual symmetry and memorability, which can appeal to collectors of patterned registrations. The format of the plate is two letters, two numbers followed by three letters, resulting in a tidy seven-character layout. The RU memory tag identifies the plate as issued through the Reading DVLA office under the current system. As a current-style registration, RU22 ELL was released to the open market via a DVLA auction in 2021. It sold for £35,451 (hammer price).

The initials RU and ELL are present in the plate. While RU has niche-low demand, the full arrangement can still offer personalisation potential. The number 22 falls into the desirable double-digits 10 to 99 range, which are generally more sought after than triple or four-digit numbers. The fact that the digits are repeated also adds to its aesthetic appeal.
