Record Number Plate

The DVLA has achieved a personal record price for the registration number 1 D, which was one of many lots in a cherished number plates auction in Warwickshire.

Lebanese property developer paid £352,411 for the number plate, and plans to put it on his wife's Bentley. The previous record was achieved by 51 NGH, which sold for £254,000 in 2006.

"We always expected interest in this number plate to be among the highest we've ever had," said DVLA Personalised Registrations Marketing Manager Damian Lawson, "and the pre-auction bids certainly backed that up. But we were still amazed when the bidding went as high as it did and we are absolutely over the moon with the final result."

There is now considerable speculation as to what someone might pay for 2 O number plate when it goes on sale on Friday. But whatever the figure is, it's unlikely to approach the £1 million which has been quoted as a possible price for A 1 if it were ever put up for auction.
