DVLA Personalised Registrations’ 200,000^th personalised registration will go under the gavel when the Agency’s third live auction of 2018 gets underway at The Oxford Belfry Hotel this week.

Almost 29 years since the DVLA started auctioning personalised registrations, the latest landmark could well be achieved when lot 164 – 200 CM – goes under the hammer shortly after lunchtime on Wednesday, the first of the three-day event.

Despite the significance of being the 200,000^th registration to be auctioned by the DVLA, 200 CM, which has a £2,200 reserve, will be just one of the 1,250 lots being offered including BR17 NEY (£700) – arguably one of the finest combinations that make up the girls name, popularised here on our shores 20 years ago by the American pop star Britney Spears.

DHH 110N and YDH 110N, which both have £250 reserves and clearly relate to the hugely popular Indian surname Dhillon, will also surely be hotly contested. Other popular registrations related to names include ELL 107D (£250), HA11 NNA (£400) and PA11 TSY (£400).

As ever, there’s a large breath of personalised registrations with direct correlations to sports cars including LAM 80D (£300) and MCL 650M (£250) which are clearly fitting for Lamborghini and McLaren owners while 62 SWB (£1,200) could entice owners of the fabulously expensive and extremely rare Short Wheel Base Ferraris built in the 1960’s.

Jody Davies, DVLA Personalised Registrations’ Senior Sales Manager, said: “Our first two live auctions of 2018 have proved hugely successful and, with the vast array being offered, I’m confident this week’s sale will be also.

“It’s incredible to think this sale will see our 200,000^th lot sold at auction which is another astonishing milestone for the Agency and an incredible achievement, particularly as we ebb ever nearer to our 30^th anniversary next year.”
