Success on a plate
Bidding at the DVLA Personalised Registrations’ autumn auction at the Rudding Park Hotel, near Harrogate, sent prices soaring, surprising even the organisers.
Over the three days, 1,500 personalised registrations will be up for grabs including a “star” plate: 10 O, being held above by Leanne Harker from SMA in Leeds, which is running the auction. It boasts the highest reserve at 10,000 and is expected to sell for a six-figure sum.
