Next DVLA Auction - Ferrari Plates
Discussion
I am planning on bidding for a plate at that auction (not any of those)
Went to one last year and quite good fun (though this time I am bidding over the phone)
Most plates go for at least 3x their reserve.
I Remember AR53 NAL going for over £30k to a mystery phone bidder, was quite fun seeing the bids go up and up, as it started at about £4k if I remember.

How long does it take for these guys to include a requested plate?
I've got one I asked for 18 months ago and still no sign of it at auction
Doug, I requested three plates in April this year, two of which were in the last sale (one of which I bought). I dont know if that was simply coincidence and the timing is typical.I've got one I asked for 18 months ago and still no sign of it at auction

How do you check if a registration is in issue or if it can be requested?
I thought there was a link on the DVLA site, but I can't find it
With me, I was looking for a particular plate, checked on DVLA site, got a message saying the plate I was after has gone to auction and a link to register your interest and be informed when the auction it was in is coming up.I thought there was a link on the DVLA site, but I can't find it

)but dont know if it came up at auction because of my request or just lucky?I got my wife to email the DVLA pleading them to include the plate I want saying that she wants to buy it for my 30th birthday present and that I have wanted it since I have been 18 blah blah blah - they replied saying that the requested plate will appear in the Feb 08 auction
