I went through the next DVLA auction lots earlier, and one of the lots really caught my eye:

337 LEE - £1,200 reserve.

Some new spots... not sure if already posted

Upgrade from a Merc G





Last seen on a Golf

At this point the photosharing site has censored the pic of 4 D on a very nice Ferrari 812. Will upload to the SS site soon

Last seen on a Fezzer



Last seen on an aging Alhambra.... now on a 120K+ Zafira Tourer... not sure if that's an upgrade



I'd count this one as an upgrade



How's this for an upgrade. Previously on a VW....



Yes, thats right Lord Provost of Glasgow now goes around in a roller.... but it was a gift

Newer GTC



Still like their short plate....



I love this one. Was transferred from an 80's Carina



Leeds Mayor Car.... wonder what the lease charge on that is....



Wasn't on the X2 for long... or was it a X4



Upgrade from an aging Clio

Does anyone ever get these plates for reserve or even near?

[Fun Bus]

It does happen. Some don't even attract bids so are sold at their reserve.

Do you mean as an unsold lot that can be bought after?

It's rare now that there are any left unsold at the live auctions, probably happens more for the timed ones as they are generally less desirable and twice as many plates being auctioned.

Yes. Got for reserve.

[Jonny TVR]

I put some bids in before the auction a few months ago that were all above the reserve and didn't get anything. I guess you need to be there or bid live online.

When DVLA first started selling at Auctions ALL numbers were sold without reserve..... The auction halls were held in huge conference halls and bargains could be had....I went to a few and bought 6 or 7 The dealers used to play it in turns to who would bid on next lot which I presume DVLA then realised they had to put reserves on them....

Yes, didn’t clarify that it’s at the end of the days sale they’re offered. And I agree, it is rare it happens.

I won mine for reserve which was a pleasant surprise!

2 or 3 plates id have a bid on at next weeks timed auction. I've only ever bid on the live auctions previously, it says bids cannot be cancelled so presumably you can't bid on a few and if you win one then cancel.

[Dogwatch]

Certainly a lot cheaper to buy direct from the DVLA if you can. Less exotic choice but VAT included and no auctioneer's fees.

[Buster73]

Is it just me , but are these photos taken looking at parked cars on someone’s drive just a tad wrong?

NO you can't..... eeny meeny miny moe.... and clearly unfair on the underbidder.....

I seem to recall WRC1 used to be on a Prodrive Subaru rally car...although I may have dreamt it
