hammer prices by the way and do not include v.a.t. or associated auction fees.
Jody Davies, DVLA Personalised

by the tremendous level of interest in our sale. Linking up with the London
Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games has been a real
success, and once again, we are really pleased that so many people were able to
find their perfect personalised registration."
The next DVLA auction will take place in
