'10' Issue Dates and Tips on getting in there First

The next series of number plates is gonna be AA10 AAA to YY10 YYY.

Below is the relevant excerpt of the notification letter we receive from the DVLA;

Dear "Dealer"

"The new 10 series will be available to view ONLY on our website from Monday 2nd November 2009 and will be on sale from 8:30am on Tuesday 1st December 2009.
This will be co-ordinated both online and via our telesales line.
The base price for the 10 series will be £390.

Initially you will be allowed one sale and up to five browses per call via our sales line until call volumes drop. The online purchasing process will operate as normal by completing each sale individually and returning to the browse function to search for another registration."

Let me warn you now; The first sales day of new issue DVLA number plates is on a par with the football match in 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks'.
My advice, if you're using the telesales line, is to gain access to as many phones as possible and have them all on redial.
If you're buying online then be sure to familiarize yourself with the buying process before the day...! If you get the hang of it in advance then you should be able to complete the transaction at 8:30:01 which is the only way you're going to beat the dealers.

Click Buying DVLA Number Plates Online to view a step by step demo of this process.

Which ever route you take keep in mind that you're probably not going to get your first choice of registration if it's obviously worth more than it's face value.
The dealers have a lot of phones and a lot of computers so it's a good idea to have several 'back up' plates in mind to avoid disappointment.



Good Luck with that. (Rather you than me)

F1 Plate May Be Up For Sale..! But you're probably gonna need to sell your Lear Jet to buy the whole package

It seems there's been some confusion over the current ownership of the F1 number plate.


Back in January I posted a BBC clip about the DVLA sale of F1 to Afzal Kahn for £440k, still the most expensive number plate ever sold in the UK.
(Click Here to see video)

Recently there has been some speculation that the plate has been put up for sale by Jenson Button.

Even More COW BAGs

Right... I think I've got my head around this now so here goes

The DVLA have now released, what I hope is, all of the remaining COW and BAG number plates as follows;

A1 to 20 COW
A1 to 20 BAG
E1 to 20 COW
E1 to 20 BAG
G1 to 20 COW
G1 to 20 BAG
H1 to 20 COW
H1 to 20 BAG

The prices of these plates range from £245 to £1275

J1 to 999 COW
J1 to 999 BAG

THROUGH TO...
(J,K,L,M,N,P,R,S,T)

T1 to 999 COW
and
T1 to 999 BAG

Are priced between £245 and £1565

Again, nothing too spectacular here but here's a few suggestions, anyway.





(Not bad for £390?)



Good luck

DVLA Ban More Number Plates...?

THE SPOOF




Found this on Twitter.
A bit of a send up of the DVLA's over zealous number plates banning policy.



Good One

Offensive number plates withdrawn from DVLA auction

An interesting article in todays Independent on Sunday about offensive number plates being withdrawn from the next DVLA auction;

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/offensive-number-plates-withdrawn-from-auction-1797590.html



Having read it I find myself wondering if the DVLA and Stonewall are not missing the point of these kind of number plates.

Who else but a flamboyant, out 'n' proud, Gay person is gonna put a personalised number plate of this type on their car?

Lighten up, people.

Reg

(Or should I contact the DVLA demanding that they recall the number plate;



with immediate effect?)
