1500 registrations were offered for sale over the three days of the auction. 228 registrations failed to get a bid and remained unsold, whilst 360 personalised registrations sold at the reserve price or opening bid.
The highest prices were particularly strong at this latest auction of personalised registrations. Before the auction I would never have picked out MCL 12C or 50 NU to be amongst the top ten. DVLA again switched the days for this latest auction of personalised number plates by starting on a Thursday and ending on a Saturday. There are clearly some experiemnts taking place to try and increase the number of visitors to the auction venues.
The next auction switches back to the normal Wednesday, Thursday, Friday format and will be held at the Williams Formula 1 Conference Centre in Oxfordshire. The auction of personalised registrations takes place the last week of July right in the middle of the school summer holiday period. Will there be bargains to be had? We will have to wait and see.
