DVLA Auction of Personal Number Plates - March 2009

The second DVLA Auction of personal number plates of 2009 was held last week.

The top hammer prices were:

1 D - £285,000
2 O - £115,000
HU57 LER - £30,000
11 MRN - £20,400
11 SSS - £17,000
84 SH - £15,000
1 KLD - £13,200
G80 RGE - £13,100
90 A - £12,500
1 PFF - £12,200
PHF 1 - £12,200
82 S - £12,000
151 S - £12,000
LUC 1Y - £11,500
1 TCP - £11,200
1 WRH - £11,100

The record hammer price at a DVLA Auction was smashed as 1 D sold for £285,000. 51 NGH now sits quite a way back in second place at £201,000.

HU57 LER which sold in June 2008 was re-offered due to the original winning bidder not completing the purchase. This time it sold for an amazing £30,000 a real sign of how number plates are increasingly being seen as a fantastic investment.

It was great to see LUC 1Y making £11,500. At Simply Registrations we have L111 UCY for sale at a very reasonable £6,000.

One hundred and ninety five registrations remained unsold after failing to receive an opening bid. That is a big improvement on the two hundred and seventy two registrations that failed to receive a bid at the last DVLA auction in January. Once again three hundred and eighty three registrations were snapped up at the opening bid or reserve price.

The number of unsold registrations at each auction is a good indicator of the strength of the industry. This number has drastically reduced over the past two auctions indicating that we are definitely in an upward trend. With the stock market also showing early signs of recovery a few people are being brave enough to suggest that the worst may be over. Time will tell.
