Private Number Plates continue to increase in popularity. British motorists just can’t get enough of them. Some just spend £250 for a registration which they will leave on the car when they sell it because it would cost them £80 to transfer , whilst at the other end of the scale someone just paid £440,000 for the registration number F1. The DVLA regularly hold auctions of up to 1500 numbers at a time and few remain unsold.
