I annoyingly missed the last DVLA auction for reg plates and there was one I wanted and it was not sold. Is there any way of just buying it from them for the reserve price? I dont want to wait until the next auction.

Am so annoyed with myself for forgetting.

Thanks - I have my fingers crossed for a positive answer!

E-mail them and ask to buy it.

Shirley not - that would be way too sensible thing for DVLA to allow me to do surely!
I thought I would ask before engaging in a long and fruitless conversation with the DVLA...

I shall then try - fingers crossed.

If you're on their email list they'll send a list of all unsold plates that you can buy for the reserve price.

Just phoned up and sadly I have to wait until later in the year for it next to come up.
There goes my present idea for this Saturday then.
Thinking cap back on...

Try again, and hopefully get to speak to someone else......
