Real Good Number Plates : Vol 4
Discussion
Seen in Somerset...
Plus there used to be two Range Rovers in The Boltons in Chelsea with the number plates:
2 BE and NOT 2B
Always liked the idea of what someone must be calling up the stairs when asking which car to take...

I've just looked through some of the plates that have sold so far at the DVLA's ongoing auction.
Why are crummy/tacky/mediocre plates fetching a lot more than they used to?
There was a time not so long ago when what I felt were decent plates were going below my expectations at these auctions, but the prices seem to be strong for what I consider to be the lesser specimens.
The retail sales of plates don't seem to be as strong as the auction figures suggest, and I can't imagine anywhere near a half of them sell to end users.
When you factor in the charges on top (hammer prices are nowhere near what auction plates end up costing!) you've got to wonder who has all this money to "invest" and why they think it's a good idea.
I know some combinations have significances to some and not others, but an idea of some of the plates that went for more than I would have expected include:
300 AG — £5200; 154 AC — £7600; 250 AB — £12,100; AMY 1J — £2,100; 100 ADS — £4,100; AYA 8N — £6,200; APR 11X — £3,700; 9 CCP — £4,500; B199 BOS — £2,100; BUK 11E — £4,200; CHR 150P — £3,400; 89 CJM — £4,500; DEN 150K — £3,000; 21 DJG — £4,300; 3 EDB — £3,300; EMM 111Y — £4,200; 9 GED — £5,700; 99 GEM — £9,200.
