Welsh car number plate auction
Published April 16th, 2008
The DVLA is holding a number plate sale with a Welsh theme at Newport’s Celtic Manor Hotel.
They include Welsh - or WEL 5H - and potential buyers were told they would need £3,000 to meet the reserve price.
Other numbers include CY51 MRY, place names like N3 ATH, BAN 9OR, and first names such as MEG 44N and DYL9N.
A spokesman for the auction said it was the first time for a number of years an auction had been held in Wales.
The catalogue features a number of plates with a Welsh theme, but there will be a total of 1,500 registrations to bid for.
The WEL 5H number plate is the first to be auctioned at 0850 BST, and the rest will be offered over the course of three days.
The auction is being promoted by Welsh boxer Joe Calzaghe, who may be tempted to bid for one of the plates on offer - BOX 3R.
