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!

I'll take that bet....bearing in mind I placed the advert in the Sunday Times!!!
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 GP335i said:

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 It was issued in 1n 1904 by Dorset but withdrawn after BF 162 as motorists complained that it meant 'bloody fool'.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.
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.

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
