About CU 5

Dateless registrations avoid an obvious vehicle age marker, which can make short combinations more flexible across prestige vehicles and long-term private ownership. The CU index mark traces back to South Shields, now associated with Tyne and Wear. At 3 characters, CU 5 sits in a very short collector tier.
