'6B' Number Plate Snapped Up For Tidy Sum

It's yet another successful week for personalised number plates as prestigious registration '6 B' has been sold for an incredible £130,000! Considering the plate had a reserve value of £8,000, I'd say that the sale is pretty impressive. Not only is the plate rare but it also resembles 'GB', short for Great Britain, which could be another reason for its huge popularity.

'6 B' was just one of the registrations snapped up at the three-day DVLA auction in Wansford, Cambridgeshire. Other great plates sold were 'OWN 1T', which fetched a respectable £33,174, '510 HU' (£13,595), 'CAR 111E' (£13,343) and '85 A' (13,217).

A plate which goes under the hammer today, the last day of the auction, is 'THE 571G'. Surely this plate, which resembles the Top Gear driving LEGEND, The Stig, will fetch a tidy sum? The plate looks great, so I'll be amazed if it doesn't generate some fiesty competition.

So there we have it. Yet another excellent example of the popularity of personalised registrations. It's all sunshine and joy from me today. Let's hope it stays that way.
