5 O Raises The Roof at Worcester Auction

The number plate 5 O has sold at auction for £87,853 (including estimated fees and taxes). The deal was done on the final day of the three-day event held at the Dormy House Hotel in Worcestershire this week.

The sale price exceeded most expectations expectations, being considerably higher than the £63k commanded earlier this year by the lower, generally more desirable, number 4 O.

The auction, organised by the DVLA, attracted some rather convenient publicity when two controversial lots were withdrawn shortly beforehand after complaints from a pressure group.

141 of the 1600 lots on offer failed to reach their reserves and remain unsold, presumably to be represented at the next event, which will held at Tankersley Manor in Barnsley at the beginning of December.
