The DVLA enjoyed continued success with their latest auction of previously un-issued personalized number plates.The last auction was held at Dormy House Hotel,Broadway,Worcestershire on the 5th,6th and 7th of September 2007.

Lowest prices were 250 with the best value one of these being L92 UKE at 300 .Other genuine bargains in the lower price range were E10 MAX at 600 and DOU 99Y at 800 .Prices in general seemed to be higher than those achieved in auctions held earlier in the year.There were fewer good numbers where no-one had attended to bid which are traditionally mopped up by the dealers.
Surprisingly unsold numbers were 4 HPS , 13 LEO ,786 RAV.
