TJS 4 private number plate

TJS 4 is a short, four-character, dateless UK private number plate. Its clean layout features three letters followed by a single number. As a dateless registration, it does not show a year identifier, contributing to its unfettered appeal and the timeless look associated with dateless plates. This style of registration format has a strong collector following, particularly those dating from the earliest eras of UK vehicle registration.

The presence of the number 4 as the final character offers a visual reading of 'A', a common and desirable substitution. While the initials TJS are strong in their own right, the combination works effectively as a short, memorable registration. The number 4, being a single-digit number, also represents a shorter, cleaner plate compared to those with multiple digits, a characteristic generally favoured by collectors. Historically, registrations from this format have been particularly sought after.

This registration was released to the open market via DVLA auction in 2015. It sold for £7,906 (hammer price).
