'Perfect Father's Day gift' up for auction

The DVLA has announced the launch of a June 3rd personalised registrations auction that could offer the ideal gift for fathers with modified insurance for their cars.

With Father's Day held on Sunday June 21st, the auction is just before the annual event and could give people looking for an unusual gift chance to purchase a personalised number plate.

It could prove to be the ideal addition for a father who already dotes on his vehicle and has insurance for a modified car.

"DAD 4S, arguably one of the finest daddy-related plates still available from the DVLA, will go under the hammer with a reserve of just £400 during the first of the three-day event," the DVLA announced.

Jody Davies, DVLA personalised registrations events manager, said this could be the perfect present for pops.

According to the Vehicle Number Plates website, the most expensive number plate is currently 51 NGH, which sold at auction for £254,000 in 2006.
