AND THE WINNER IS…..
Yet again, the overall star was an 'O' registration. Selling for an all-in price of £73,268, 51 O resumed the run of 'O' numbers that have dominated recent auctions. If it hadn't been for the strong showing of excellent 5 PS in the last auction, this would have been the seventh in the 'O' series to take top spot. This series is certainly very popular with bidders.
SUPERB RUNNERS UP
The other top 5, 2 of them also containing the ever so popular O
7 OOR (£34,491)
9 YT (£32,950)
OO08 OOO (£32,180) - This kind of symmetry, consisting of just two basic character shapes, is always visually striking. Although it screams 'private number plate', it gives very little away and is sure to get onlookers guessing.
WIG 1 (£31,024).
Other noticeable Plates
Representations of names varied in quality of visual effect. Among those we noticed were: ARJ 5N (£15,745), D21 ANA (£13,177), ROB 31E (£11,764), J41 SON (£9,710), DAV 31D (£9,068), WAT 90N (£7,527) and C41 ROL (£7,399).
SYR 11A (£23,192) was a nice example of an imperfect representation that is still instantly obvious despite its slight deviation from "Syria", while M411 CTY was a nice result for a Manchester City fan at £5,473.
We'll finish with NOT 284D (£11,636), which may not be visually perfect but it's certainly not bad!
This auction saw 998 numbers sold and two numbers unsold. Bidders spent a total of £4,600,997, with £4,305,220 going to the government in revenue.
The next DVLA auction will once again be online and a timed event that will take place on Wednesday 26th July to Tuesday 1st August 2023.
