The latest DVLA auction of private registration numbers was held from Wednesday 22nd June to Tuesday 28th June 2022.
This was an online auction. Although DVLA had hoped to be holding live auctions again by this summer, it has not so far been possible to do so.
As we have seen previously, the auctions remain very busy and prices paid remain very respectable. Indeed, some numbers have achieved much higher sums than expected.
This most recent sale featured the usual mix of types. The top price was £45,033, paid for SA22 RAH. For a less than perfect spelling of the name Sarah, we think the price achieved was very good.
DAR 5Y for the name Darsy sold for £23,205. Again a surprisingly good price; although Darsy is a real name, the Darcey spelling is more common and would, therefore, probably have had more competing potential buyers.
As well as surprisingly high prices, there were a few notable bargains. The name registration TA18 OTS (Talbots) went for just £6,500, despite being a great version. The equally recognisable BU71 ERS (Butlers) was snapped up for a slightly chunkier £13,061 but we still think both were pretty cheap.
Take a look through our table and see what you think of the plates available and the prices paid for them. Which do you think made lucky money, and which were the real bargains?
