The Top Prices were: 4 DAM - £29,000 RUB 1Y - £21,000 SSS 9 - £18,400 1 EJG - £15,000 63 MB - £14,000 68 JM - £14,000 There are certain letter combinations that cannot be offered for sale by DVLA at auction. This is because the letter combination was issued naturally by a Local Licensing Authority. DVLA can only sell previously unissued registrations. The JG combination is a good example. The JG combination was issued by Canterbury C.B.C. starting with JG 1 back in March 1929. It was November of 1937 by the time Canterbury had used up the JG combination followed by numbers, the final number to be issued was JG 9999. Then in September 1963 Canterbury began using the JG combination again, this time with the numbers first, starting with 1 JG. The final number in the sequence to be issued was 1473 JG. Canterbury then began using the suffix letter system in 1963, along with the rest of the country. This means that DVLA cannot issue any JG registrations at auction followed by numbers. DVLA can however offer the numbers 1474 - 9999 followed by JG. Indeed a quick search shows that several attractive numerical sequences have been already used: <a href="http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/en/Search/p/auction?searched=yes&plate=jg&x=34&y=9">http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/en/Search/p/auction?searched=yes&plate=jg&x=34&y=9</a> So what does this mean to the potential owner of 48 JG? The bad news is that it will be an expensive registration as there are very few two digit JG registrations still live in the system. The good news is that 48 JG should always hold its value, as DVLA cannot flood the market with similar registrations. 48 JG is available for purchase from <a href="http://www.simplyreg.com/">www.simplyreg.com</a> at £10,000.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3119034799900683989-1236008953658171047?l=simplyreg.blogspot.com'/></div>www.simplyreg.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07938188567284103448noreply@blogger.com0
