DVLA Personalised Registrations are preparing for its second sale of 2016 and it looks to surpass the success achieved in the first sale earlier in the year.
The first sale of the 2016 took place in February and all but three items were sold under the hammer, raising a total of £5.3million. The auction this week takes place at The Oxford Belfry Hotel and will run over three days from Wednesday the 18th. DVLA Personalised Registrations are hoping to capitalise on the popularity of personalised plates and is hoping for a sell out auction this time around.
1,600 registrations will go be available at auction at the Oxfordshire based hotel so there should be something there for everyone. For those of you who own a supercar and fancy a number plate that compliments your pride and joy, you should have a good choice. For NSX owners you can have '2 NSX' which comes with a reserve of £400.
If you are lucky enough to own a McLaren you can choose from either '570 MCL' (reserve £1,200) or 'MCL 540C' (reserve £250). Fear not Ferrari owners, there is something for you as well, if you have a 488 then you can opt for 'F488 GTS', which comes with an reserve of £250.
If you are not so fortunate to own a supercar and let's face it that it the majority of us, there some other plates which may be of interest. If you are a taxi driver you could go for 'CAB 131E' which has a reserve of £250. 'BAR 811E' is available with a reserve of £250 or if your surname is Wright you may be interested in 'WR16 HTS' which comes with reserve of £700.
Adam Griffiths, of DVLA Personalised Registrations, said: “We have experienced a record-breaking run of sales over the last 18 months or so, success that continued with our first auction of 2016 when all but three lots were sold.
“We’ve carefully put together another blend of personalised registrations to suit all tastes and, above all, budgets. This, combined with the ever-growing trend in popularity the public have with personalised registrations, we are extremely confident that our run of successful sales will continue at The Oxford Belfry. Who knows, but this could be our first sale whereby every lot is sold.”
