What are Reserve Prices?
Reserve Prices are the minimum prices at which lots
will be sold. All reserve prices are clearly shown in
the catalogue for every auction. Please note that
these do not include the additional charges of VAT,
Buyer's Premium and Assignment Fee.
Where does the bidding start?
Bidding normally starts at the Reserve Price and the
auctioneers will seek to take bids from the auction
hall first. The exception to this is where there are
two competing Absentee Bids, in which case bidding
will start at one bid (usually £100) more than the
lower Absentee Bid. Where there are two identical
Absentee Bids, the auctioneer will accept the one that
was received first.
What bids will the auctioneer take?
Bids increase by a minimum of £50 where bidding is
below £1,000 and by £100 where bidding is above
£1,000. If the reserve is £2,012 the next bid will be
£2,100.
What happens to registrations that do not reach
their reserve prices?
The auctioneer will not accept any bid on a
registration that is below the published reserve price.
If a registration does not receive a bid at reserve
price or above, it will be declared as “Unsold" by the
auctioneer.
The DVLA may, at its discretion, include such
registrations in future auctions without prior notice.
Contact DVLA immediately at the sale or afterwards
if you are interested in any unsold registrations.

DVLA Personalised Registrations I Issue 3
Can I place a DVLA registration on a vehicle
registered in Northern Ireland?
Registration numbers can be purchased from the
DVLA if you live in Northern Ireland. However, the
personalised registration must firstly be assigned to a
vehicle registered to a mainland Great Britain
address; this can be accomplished by adding a
nominee (who lives in mainland GB) to the
certificate at the time of purchase. The nominee
should assign the personalised registration at a
mainland DVLA Local Office.
Once the paperwork is completed and they have
received the new V5C in the personalised number,
the registration can be transferred to your vehicle in
Northern Ireland. There is currently an
administration fee of approximately £80 to do this.
For further details on the transfer process you can
call the DVLA Vehicle Enquiry unit on 0300 790
6802 or alternatively email DVLA via
www.direct.gov.uk/emaildvla.
