Football number plates auction kicks off at Old Trafford

Keen footie fans will be given the chance to bid for Premiership related registration plates such as UTD 805S and FER 661E at an event being held at Manchester United’s home of Old Trafford this month. On top of that, attendees will have the opportunity to see, and have their photos taken with, the coveted Premiership Trophy.

The DVLA’s Personalised Registrations’ Spring auction is a three-day event that will feature a host of football-related private number plates and will kick off on Wednesday, March 24.

Reserve prices for the plates start from £250, however expectations are high surrounding 9O, arguably the star number plate of the event boasting a £10,000 reserve – especially in the wake of last year's successes when the agency auctioned its first six O plates – 1 O – 6 O – for a collective 666K.

Jody Davies, DVLA Personalised Registrations events manager, said: "Our spring auction will be an unforgettable experience for the whole family. We have secured a limited number of tickets for registered bidders attending our auction to a free tour of Manchester United s museum, its fabulous trophy room and tour of the stadium."

In total, DVLA’s forthcoming auction will comprise 1,500 registrations chosen to offer an eclectic mix to suit all tastes, styles and pockets, including, BMW 805S (£400), DAM 114N (£400), FER 661E (£900), F4 LSE (£900), HOT 805S (£400), K11 LTS (£900), NET 800K (£300), NEW 805S (£400), 9 O (£10,000), OFF 1 (£3,200), OLD 805S (£350), 2 OOO (£4,000), TAX 80Y (£400), TOW 805S (£400), UTD 805S (£900), VDS 1 (£3,200).
