DVLA sealed bids auction – the results

The DVLA sealed bids auction came to a close on Monday and the DVLA have now published the results at their DVLA registrations website.

DVLA sealed bids auction facts:

468 cherished number plate lots remained unsold.

250 SWB (an ultimate ferrari number plate) sold for £51,250

..beating the next highest lot which was 250TDF @ £12,0000

36 lots sold for as little as £250 – no doubt some of them intended as number plate christmas presents.

54 F prefix number plates appeared in the auction – the most notable being F348GTC – another superb Ferrari number plate.

Likewise 21 E prefix number plates appeared in the auction – a majority of which went unsold.

Was the auction a success?

With 31% of lots unsold, thefirst DVLA sealed bids auction didn’t set the world aflame but we’re sure here in the office that the DVLA will revisit this format- perhaps with greater publicity.

What now?

Doubtless many of these personalised number plates will appear in the number plate classifieds and with the number plate dealers - as is the case with most DVLA auctions.
