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!

Hmm, well per my point above, it WILL have been on a car - most likely only one, in 1904; and as these plates were effectively withdrawn and re-issued, I very much doubt that DVLA have the original records. I believe plates had to be 'live' when the records were computerised in the 70s for the full history to be available. The Dorset County Record Office may possibly have something.
It was my understanding that a plate, once issued, was never re-issued. But were any BF plates actually issued in/shortly after 1904? There seems to have been none around by 1951.sue20 said:

When I was a kid our neighbour used to have E3 on his Austin 1100. His brother's car (a Rover of some sort if I remember correctly) had E9 on it.
E3's now on an X5, E9's now on a Ford Focus. Wonder if they're still in the same family?Cliftonite said:
