A feast for all at DVLA Personalised Registrations’ first sale of 2013
DVLA Personalised Registrations’ first auction of 2013 could prove the sale of the year for registration plate-lovers looking for a true bargain.
With reserves ranging from as little as £250 through to £5,000, whether it’s a registration resembling a popular first or surname, initials, a business or bought for a bit of fun to those reflecting a prominent supercar, the three-day auction being held at the Oxford Belfry Hotel from Wednesday, January 30, features something for all tastes and budgets.
Registrations resembling first names already proving popular with registered bidders include A819 ALE (reserve £300), BEV 1K (£700), B166 KEN (£400), and CA11 UMS (£1,000) while there’s interest registered for those resembling surnames including MA12 LEY, ME12 CER, PA12 MAR, WA12 NER, HO11 DEN and MC11 EAN – each with a reserve of £1,000. 17 O holds the highest reserve, set at £5,000.
Motorists who like topersonalise their cars can opt from EVO 7X (£400), NSX 6 (£600), TUR 80L (£400) and TVR 400T (£400) while Ferrari fans could go for FER 430S and even F288 GTO, each tagged with £400 reserves.
Damian Lawson, DVLA Personalised Registrations’ Marketing Manager, said: “As ever, we’ve managed to compile a huge mix of personalised registrations aimed at all walks of life and for all budgets for our first public auction of 2013.”
Mr Lawson is also keen to stress the auction schedule would not be affected if the severe weather currently sweeping the country continues and added: “I don’t foresee any reason as to why our three-day sale starting on January 30 will not continue, as planned, regardless of the arctic weather. We’ve been successfully staging auctions since 1989 and poor weather has never forced us to cancel or postpone before.
“The Oxford Belfry Hotel is a new venue for us and has been specifically chosen for its central location and for its convenience to the M40 for those wanting to come along and bid in person.”
