    IF YOU’RE LOOKING for the perfect personalised registration for your car, it might well be worth you checking out the plates for sale at the latest DVLA sale at The Oxford Belfry Hotel.

    Starting tomorrow (May 18), the three-day sale includes the perfect number for your McLaren — 570 MCL (reserve £1200) and MCL 540C (£250). If you’ve a Honda NSX, how about 2 NSX (£400), or 918 S (£2500), which would sit perfectly on a Porsche 918 hybrid hypercar.

    There’s also the perfect number for a taxi driver: CAB 131E (£250).

    Over the three days, the DVLA will sell 1500 personalised registrations. Such is the continued rise in popularity for personalised registrations, during the first auction of the year held in February all but three lots were sold – ensuring that for its third successive live auction, its sales conversion surpassed 99% – and in doing so recorded sales in excess of £5.3 million for its second successive live auction.

    For the supercar owners, the DVLA has assembled a raft of Ferrari-related registrations such as F458 FUN (reserve £250), F488 GTS (£250) and 488 T (£2500).
