TEK 3 private number plate

TEK 3 is a four-character, dateless UK private registration. Its format is three letters followed by one number, a style associated with the earliest registration eras which offers a clean and desirable appearance. Four-character registrations are typically sought after for their compact layout. The single digit '3' at the end positions this plate well within the desirable lower number band that generally appeals to collectors. This registration does not show a year identifier, which contributes to its timeless look.

As a dateless registration, TEK 3 has the clean look associated with dateless registrations and is classified as a cherished registration. Its structure, with letters first and a single number, is a format that often appeals strongly to collectors of early registration styles. The 'TEK' initials offer potential for personal representation, and such initial combinations are often a primary driver for private registration purchases, according to DVLA surveys.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2023. It sold for £17,010 (hammer price). With auction fees, the estimated total paid by the buyer was £21,841.
