The most expensive DVLA personalised number plates confirmed

Car buyers who register their new car from March 1st 2021 will be able to get the very latest number plate which will include ‘21’ unless of course, they go for a private plate.

We Brits however do love personalised number plates and this doesn’t seem to be abating with the prices of tailor-made plates rocketing in recent years, so even hitting six figures!

You can also buy new numbers directly from DVLA Personalised Registrations.

There are auctions across the country about five times a year where you can bid in person in writing, via the phone or online.

You can buy a private number plate from a dealer or another person.

Autotrader has collated a list of some of the most expensive car number plates sold in Britain.

G 1 (£500,000) - Found on an Aston Martin this number plate was sold in 2011, making it the most expensive plate in the UK at the time.
25 0 (£518,480) - This was purchased via an auction for a Ferrari trader who put it on his rare Ferrari 250 SWB that was previously owned by Eric Clapton. To date, this is the most expensive plate that has ever been sold by the DVLA
X 1 (£502,500) - The original sale price for this was a staggering £1m, however, someone got a 'steal', paying just half that amount in 2012.
RR 1 (£472,000) - Sold in 2018 to adorn a Rolls Royce, naturally, the plate 'RR1' was described as "one of the most special" registration plates in the world ahead of its sale at the Goodwood Revival.
S 1 (£404,063) - This was the first-ever number plate issued in Scotland. It was bought in 2008 and placed on a Skoda, making it 10 times more expensive than the car itself.
F 1 (£440,625) - Widely recognised for the world's most popular racing sport, Formula 1, this plate is unlikely to ever leave the top ten of most expensive number plates.
1 S (£340,000) – 2010 saw this private reg sold and placed on a Rolls Royce Phantom. It's thought to have doubled in value since.
1 D (£352,411) - One Direction must be waiting with bated breath for this to go back on sale after getting snapped up in 2009 by a property developer.
