Plate goes under the hammer

The plate in question: up for sale

This personalised number plate could be snapped up by a proud Roytoner at the next Government auctions.

The seven figure plate (ROY 17ON) appears to spell Royton, and already has a £400 reserve on it. It will be sold at the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority’s next auctions in Worcester on October 7,8 and 9. It is one of 1,600 personalised plates going under the hammer for the DVLA.
