One from Donington last weekend.

Another example of a great number plate and investment......! That sold in 1995 for £16K......! Now that must be worth £100k today... " NS 1 " was in the times a few months ago and iirc it was over £200k.. Reg Transfers have it on there books now POA...

never over £200k!

I bet it is..? Reg Transfers arn't shy..! " NS 1 " it's POA ask the question..? they want £50K for " NS 9 "

I'll take that bet....bearing in mind I placed the advert in the Sunday Times!!!

Anyone bidding on anything in the current DVLA auction? I have my eye on a plate so have been watching it live on and off over the last 24 hours and some strong money being paid IMO.

I got BF 41 (initials) in yesterdays auction. Put in an internet bid for the reserve of £2500 the night before. Got scared on the morning of the auction and bumped it up to £2600 just incase... Won it for £2600! Really pleased considering how strong money some of the other plates went for.

Got 6 FRD (sons called Freddie) in an unsold lot a few auctions ago for £1600 which I was more pleased with!

BF 41 for that money is an awesome purchase. Also a piece of history...BF is the only combination sold by DVLA that has been previously allocated to a car. It was issued in 1n 1904 by Dorset but withdrawn after BF 162 as motorists complained that it meant 'bloody fool'. It was replaced with FX, and in 1920 any remaining BF numbers were re-registered FX. DVLA uses higher number BF plates for veteran car re-registrations, and obviously now sells the lower numbers.

Im sure It has definatley been in the Sunday Times at some point advertised for more than £200k..! And used to be on a Blue Mini..! This may well have been a while ago and obviously must have sold for less or been reduced,I only know this by the way because it's one of my salesman initials and he's sort of followed it... Honestly I'm not a

Both of your purchases are fantastic both in terms of numbers and in price paid.

I've posted this before but not with a pic.



Also spotted this. Driven by a fifty something couple.

Haha, that is actually really cool and something I would have never found out otherwise!

Thanks for all the positive comments folks, I was and still am surprised what money I got it for.

Trying to work out the location of the PRO 1L photo.
They've had that plate for years and years.
Remember seeing it when I was in high school 15 years ago!

Retail park off Leeds road. I'd just been to Argos.

I actually thought it was displayed PRO1L and was gonna put in the other thread until I looked closer at the image on my iPad.

At first glance I read it as PRO OIL

1 LOO Silver Discovery (I bet Pimilico Plumbers would love to get their hands on that one)
1 ALP Blue Bentley GT convertable

I regularly see a silver E Class with 1ALE near Ashby de la Zouch, I'm guessing that given the proximity to Burton on Trent that the owner might be something to do with the brewery!?

Recognise it now.
I always read it as Pro Oil.

GP335, as the registered keeper of BF41, you can apply to DVLA to see what cars it has been applied to. If I were you, I'd pay the £5 and do it.

No point - it was a DVLA auction plate so won't have been on anything previously..

On a bus parked at The Meadows, Sandhurst on Friday. Good plate, but not a great driver. He narrowly avoided hitting 5 different cars, including the one I was sat in the passenger seat of at the time, in his attempt to find enough empty spaces to straddle / park in
