"BMZ 4" reg plate in dvla auction
- Thread starter PRMG
- Start date
South Lanarkshire
I'm a bit late but the auction is still open so I figured it was still worth posting.
AMZ 4 was sold a few months ago. I was very interested. I decided my maximum was something like £2000-3000. I think it eventually sold for around double that. It became close to £10k once fees etc were added in. I expect this will be similar.

If one of the 'number plate brokers' were selling the above BMZ4 plate in the UK, you could treble the auction price, and some.
I thought that stupid money for 'private reg numbers' was an '80s only thing. I was under the impression the world had moved on to spending all their disposable income on telling the time via 'designer' watches and very expensive old cars. :?
I do remember reg plate auctions in the late 80s making national news. I think (but my memory isn't what it was) 'V8' was the most expensive ever to be sold. I also seem to remember it is owned by AM now.
In the 1980s seeing a Ford Transit with the reg 'No5' on a Chanel van, or AML 1 on a Lagonda was worth turning around for. Not anymore IMO.
Always remember British Oxygen lorries with OXY 1, 2 and 3. Cool but utterly pointless.

"Personal Plates" have been around for ages. I just can't see the point of a plate specific to the car unless you plan to keep it forever, or are willing to let the plate go with the car. I'd rather have one that meant something to me so I could keep it for my next car.
Coombs of Guildford were a Jaguar dealer in the 60s and owned BUY1 and BUY2 - maybe a few more.
In the 70s I saw a Jaguar XJ with the plate "LV 2". The boss of Luncheon Vouchers allegedly had LV 1 on his car. (You probably need to be old to know what LVs were)!

I'm not far from Lloyd BMW Colne and I've see an absolutely mint, (and very low miles I'm told) black 1M parked in the customer spaces, there isn't a spec of corrosion to anything visible. The plate is BMW 1M, it's a private owner apparently, nowt to do with Lloyd or BMW, that was at the time I asked 2 ish years ago. It has to be a rock solid investment for the owner
Saw the above today at a show in Lancashire, looks like it's getting used a bit more 
There's a motorsport place near me that specialises in old 50s, 60s, 70s Formula cars. Had a nice JPS Lotus F1 car in there a while back. Also do classic rally stuff.
Anyway, their artic that pulled the car transporter had the registration 'F1 DFV'. I thought that was a pretty good one.
Lately though it seems to have got a different plate, so maybe someone made them a daft offer.
