So... for 'reasons', I may be looking at single-letter forward plates...
1x4 are obviously the least expensive option (and I like them anyway
) but they are tiny in number on the usual plate sales sites, some are on a number of sites for a range of prices (with it not being clear who is actually acting for the client and who is fishing for money with which they'd then attempt to negotiate with the actual vendor), and they rarely come up in auctions AFAICS.
The lowest-priced options seem to be about 7-8 grand on the usual sites at the moment, with none on the member listings on RNC, but am I missing some cheaper options??
Any recommendations very gratefully received!
Do you have to have the letter first and then the numbers?1x4 are obviously the least expensive option (and I like them anyway

several plates with numbers followed by one letter in the next DVLA auction - starting at c. £2.5k
Reverse? There are thousands of unissued plates.
Now, you can see why people want the letter first

Not sure if this should be in the other thread. Correct spacing etc so...
I'm kinda surprised they even allowed this plate to be issued. No idea if the driver might have been called Anil, but either way you'd need to be confident of yourself and very trusting of wherever you parked it.

One would hope such a mindset is increasingly uncommon.I'm kinda surprised they even allowed this plate to be issued. No idea if the driver might have been called Anil, but either way you'd need to be confident of yourself and very trusting of wherever you parked it.

The one letter I was researching appears to have perhaps only 11 or 12 in a 1x4 format on modern vehicles at the time of searching, with under 60 out there if you include all vehicles and assume those on historic vehicles are not transferable (or would not be transferred), but ignore any on retention certificates (because they don't show up in a DVLA search).
If there are 48 million vehicles out there on the road, seeing a 1x4 in the letter I was looking at would therefore be a 1-in-4-million chance

You bring Anti/Anal(?) Gay and I’ll raise you with Hitler, on a VW no less I'm kinda surprised they even allowed this plate to be issued. No idea if the driver might have been called Anil, but either way you'd need to be confident of yourself and very trusting of wherever you parked it.

Looks like the 25 plates are due out imminently:
Get your thinking caps on quickly if you want to secure something good!
(I can never think of anything until they've all sold... lol)
Reminds me of a workmate in 2005 who sat in his car in the works carpark on the phone to DVLA to secure a 55 plate on day of release.Get your thinking caps on quickly if you want to secure something good!

A while back I bashed up a spreadsheet of types and prices of DVLA auction plates, we posted a few times about it. Lost it, your post gave me the nudge to have another go...As someone else posted, there are seven number forward 4 x 1 plates in the next auction.
If I get a chance I'll add past results and do min, max and average prices per format.
