The registration DBS 1A – which clearly correlates to the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is one of 2,250 that is being featured in DVLA Personalised Registrations' 10-day online auction which started on Wednesday, July 22. The car was provided courtesy of Aston Martin Birmingham.
The seven-day timed auction got underway at 10am on Wednesday 23 July and features 2,250 lots, an increase from the 1,250 available during its live three-day events, with reserves ranging from £70 through to £2,500.
DVLA says early signs for a successful sale are promising. By close on Thursday, more than £2 million had been bid, with 80 per cent of the lots already surpassing their reserve prices. Impressively, 86 A was the highest-priced personalised registration at that point with £34,610, followed by SUN 1A (£12,510) and 1 NAB (£11,210).
DVLA Personalised Registrations has scores of personalised registrations to tempt all tastes and requirements, from the quirky and fun marques that help market businesses such as 511 CK (reserve £2,200), MRB 100M (£200), SPA 805S (£250), SHE 33P (£300) and W45 STE (£250) to typical name-related registrations including BLA 112R (£250), C43 MAX (£130), LA18 URA (£400), LE11 NNY (£250) and YUS 53F (£300). Of course, petrolheads will also have a feast to feed on including AST 700N (£250), DBS 1A (£500), F812 FER (£250), GH18 OST (£400), LAM 80V (£300) and S41 EEN (£250).
Taking the live sales online, to a format that has been successfully running alongside its live auction programme since 2008, has proven to be a resounding success and enabled the Agency to continue providing its service and ensuring motorists can buy their personalised registrations. Staged over 10 days, they enable a greater number of lots and provide customers plenty of time to bid.
Jody Davies, DVLA Personalised Registrations' Senior Sales Manager, said: "These have been totally unprecedented times but our paramount concern is, and has always been, for the safety of our colleagues and customers. We know our customers truly value the experience our live auctions provide but, with a heavy heart, we made the immediate decision extremely early to move our spring and summer sales online. While the country is slowly getting back to some normality, we feel it is only correct to maintain our online services in order to guarantee both our service and safety. We truly look forward to February 2021 when, hopefully, we will be able to once again safely stage our next live auction."
