IT’S HAMMER TIME!
October 3rd, 2007 | by Ed |West Ham United are being hotly tipped to knock London rivals Arsenal off the top of the Premier League of personalised registrations.
Auctioneers for DVLA Personalised Registrations are bracing themselves for a bidding frenzy as they put the number plate WE57 HAM under the hammer later this month.
And they believe interest in the plate will be so great it could even sell for more than the hottest football personal registration auctioned to date – AR53 NAL – which went for a whopping £36,000 in 2004.
Currently, the league table of top football plates, reads:
- AR53 NAL - £36,000
- V1 LLA - £35,000
- ALB 10N - £19,000
- DER 8Y - £14,500
- S41 NTS - £11,500
- PRE 570N - £9,400
- 1 WBA - £8,400
- W1 GAN - £7,700
- EVR 70N - £6,400
- S9 URS - £4,600
- CHE 153A - £4,300
- BOL 70N - £4,000
- FOR 35T - £3,100
Damian Lawson, Marketing Manager for DVLA Personalised Registrations, said: ‘We get huge amounts of interest whenever we release football related registration numbers for auction, but we are particularly excited by this one.
‘We know what a large and passionate support there is for West Ham and because the number reads so well we think it stands a real chance of topping the table of football plates.’
The auction of WE57 HAM will be the climax of a three-day sale of 1,500 highly desirable numbers by DVLA Personalised Registrations at Down Hall Hotel in Bishops Stortford, Hertfordshire, from October 24 to 26.
