MOTORISTS are being invited to bid for an unusual personalised car registration at an auction.

The DVLA event will take place over three days from today (October 19) until Friday at the Oxford Belfry Hotel in Milton Common and is set to include 1,000 unique registrations that have never been sold or issued before.

Notable registrations such as 4 NHS, CHR 61S, V11 RGO and MA21 LYN will be auctioned, along with many more registrations which resemble distinctive dates and memorable names.

Starting prices at the auction for many registrations will begin at £200 and one registration, NXZ 890, is listed with a starting price of £100.

Jody Davies, head of DVLA personalised registrations, said: "We are really looking forward to welcoming customers to the return to our in-person auction."

For those who can't make it to the auction there are still a number of ways to register a bid. Bidders can request a DVLA representative to big on their behalf, register online, or by leaving a maximum absentee bid.

Bids increase by a minimum of £50 when bidding is below £1,000, and by £100 when bidding is above £1,000.

The auction runs from 9am-5.30pm
