Drivers Given the Chance to Buy Patriotic Number Plates
Drivers who are looking to add a unique personal touch to their car were given the chance to buy patriotic personalised number plates over the past week. An online DVLA auction held from the 13th to 19th of January offered registration numbers that might particularly appeal to Welsh motorists.
Drivers were able to bid for private number plates such as ‘ARW 6L’ (ARWEL), ‘CON 70Y (CONWY) and DRA 900N (DRAGON) to display their national pride. The seven day fully online auction included 1,250 registration numbers with reserve prices ranging from £250 to £2,500. The DVLA holds a number of live online auctions each year.
The DVLA has revealed that there has been a boom in the demand for private number plates. During 2020, a record number of people visited websites such as CarReg.co.uk to buy a private registration number. Even on Christmas Day, 1,239 personalised number plates were bought.
Alternative Welsh themes and names available at the auction included ‘BAN 9A’ (BANGOR), ‘DYL 33N’ (DYLAN) and ‘OWE9N’ (OWEN).

Many people are sad that the UK has left the European Union, but you could show your pro EU feelings with private number plates such as ‘EU 6’, ‘50 EU’, ‘EU 29’ or ‘2000 EU’.
When you buy private number plates, you can be as inventive as you like to get the plates you want.
