Father spends �26,000 to buy his daughter a personalized number plate

Every year, DVLA Personalized Registrations holds six auctions of individual number plates at locations throughout Great Britain. During its last auction at Rudding Park, Harrogate, Birmingham pharmacist Harbhajan Bains, aged 41, spend a cool �26,000 on a personalized number plate �99 A� for his 11-year-old daughter. The proud father from Little Aston, Sutton Coldfield already has a collection of 25 private registrations. He said�

I promised my daughter Amun the registration 99A, which stands for her birth year and her initial. While some people may think �26,000 for a number plate for an 11-year-old is extravagant, I see it as a superb investment. It will double in value in six years.

The next auction is at Ardencote Manor Hotel and Country Club, Lye Green Road, Claverdon, Warwick, CV35 8LT in the first week of December this year.
