Coming up in the next dvla auction.

Did they even make an ML65?

I've just placed an absentee bid on a plate in the auction on Monday. Doubt I'll win as I didn't go too punchy and am stuck in meetings all day so may struggle to follow the bidding.

I did that years ago for WOO 5H, lost it by £500!

Surely I'm not the only one hoping to see that plate on the "other" thread, looking like this

Hugely variable. 'Letter First' are the oldest are rarest and can fetch big money, but it depends on the letter - 'X' will always be less than 'A'. 'Letter Last' tend to be more expensive if original issues from the late 50s - not all were issued - rather than DVLA auction jobs. And the numbers will matter - your suggestion of 1234 likely to be more than 8934. And a year is probably the favourite.

Mt Reg or Pork know more about values than me, but I would say from about £1500 for the least desirable/ rare up to whatever someone is willing to pay, especially in an auction bidding war!

Thanks for that, I just like 4 no.Reg plates. Wouldn't really bother me what the no's are though any 4 of these in the correct order would please my odd tendencies 31415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679

I have a feeling that WOO5H and WOO55H both live near me in Sussex

Have just registered for telephone bidding. I'll make my excuses and leave my meeting for 10 mins. I haven't set myself a limit yet, this could be dangerous.

I only ever absentee bit. Or I know I'd get carried away. I accidentally won AUD02TT after the fee's etc it cost over £600. Then an old lady at work bought a TT and I went off the idea of owning one. Lost £300 when I sold it.
Happy with my BEN reg though, bought for my sons 18th. In 13 years

P5 on a Bentley (sport I think) on road 456 in Halesowen. Driving so no picture. Horrible sky blue thought

Have just seen 1 L on a Toyota Landcruiser on the M6 this afternoon.

Have a photo but not a particularly good one!

Shame no pic as it's a long time since that was spotted. A long long time
