Personalised number plate auction

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

The RBS Williams F1 conference centre is to host the next DVLA auction of personalised number plates. There are 1586 lots entered in to the private number plate sale which will take place on 5th, 6th & 7th August 2009. Two car registration numbers guaranteed to generate significant interest and no doubt will achieve eye watering figures are 4 O (lot 1060) & 6 W (lot 1506). The reserve price for each of these personalised number plates is £8,000 however these numbers are going to achieve much higher sale prices.

With the venue having a strong formula one connection it seems the DVLA have designed the sales catalogue to suit with several F1 personalised number plates. There is even F1 MAX, I wonder will this take the fancy of the outgoing FIA president Max Moseley.
