The DVLA continue to enjoy success with their auctions of previously unissued personalised number plates.The latest sale was held at Shrigley Hall , Cheshire on the 25th,26th and 27th of April. Bids were taken by letter,telephone,on line and of course in person in the room.
Top price paid was £25,000 + vat + auctioneers commission + transfer fee ( approx £31250 total ) for the number SSK 4 which is surprisingly high as 1 JLT only brought £18500 net , but as anyone who knows auctions will tell you , it all depends who is bidding on the day. Other notable high prices were £15,000 for 1 KPW and £14,400 for KHA 21D ( presumably because it resembles KHALID. 1 numbers continue to demand high prices with the lowest being 1 DUJ, 1EEU , 1 JYK, and 1 YYW all at £4900.
Lowest prices were £250 with the best value one of these being J21 JPW .Other genuine bargains in the lower price range were MOL 5S at £400 , 22 DXN at £550 while 6 KRX at £900 and DES 1D at £1200 were pretty sound purchases.
Most expensive car number plate must be OO07 CAR at £5600 whilst TAX 1Y seemed to be the highest non name non car related plate at £3400.
