VICTORIAN NUMBER PLATE SETS NEW AUCTION RECORD

A new Australian Auction record was set on Sunday 25th August at Donington Auctions ‘Collector Car and Number Plate’ Auction.

Victorian numerical heritage number plate ‘123-456’ was sold for an astonishing $363,000, which smashed the pre-auction estimate of $250,000-280,000.  The result now makes this revered ascending plate the most expensive 6-digit Victorian number plate to be sold at auction. 

Donington had set the previous record for a 6-digit plate in February 2024, selling the lucky ‘888-888’ for $230,000.   

Donington’s live online auction saw two determined bidders locked in a protracted bidding war for the plate, one of a number of highlights from the auction.
