It’s been just under three years since we kicked off PistonHeads Auctions to complement the classifieds and give you even more ways to buy and sell. In that time, we’ve sold over 700 cars with our digital gavel, from immaculate modern classics to supercars.
But as anyone who has spent too long browsing our marketplace knows, a truly special car often deserves the perfect final touch. Which is why, due to genuine demand, we are officially adding cherished number plates to the PH Auctions lineup.
Whether you’re looking to unlock the value of a great registration that’s currently sitting on a retention certificate, or you're hunting for that elusive, definitive combination of letters to complete your pride and joy, we’re now open for business.
Because managing two fee structures sounds like a needless complication for everyone involved, we’re keeping things straightforward. The rules for plates are exactly the same as they are for cars:
- Zero seller fees: listing and selling costs you absolutely nothing. You keep 100% of the hammer price
- Buyer’s premium: a transparent 6 per cent + VAT, subject to a minimum fee of £695 + VAT.
Let’s face it, there is quite literally no better place in the UK to showcase a premium registration than in front of our massive, highly knowledgeable audience.
Our first batch of plates is live right now, which you can browse here. If you’ve got one to sell, drop us a line at auctions@pistonheads.com to get a free valuation today.
