Personalised number plates up for grabs at football-themed auction

Motorcycle insurance customers looking to furnish their bike with a personalised number plate may want to take advantage of an upcoming football-themed auction, the DVLA has announced.

The auction will run for three days from March 24th at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United FC.

Anyone attending the event will get the chance to have their picture taken with the Premier League trophy, currently on display at the stadium.

Free tours of the museum and stadium will also be available to a select number of registered bidders.

"Our spring auction will be an unforgettable experience for the whole family. I can safely say you don't have to be a fan of Manchester United, or even football for that matter, to fully appreciate it," said Jody Davies, DVLA Personalised Registrations' Events Manager.

Those unable to make the auction can buy online from over 32 million personalised registration plates currently held by the DVLA.
