Occasionally people are unable to get to these auctions, and find that they have to miss out on getting a special number plate. This does not have to be so these days, as there are companies who will go to the auctions for the buyer and bid in their place, details of one of these services can be found here http://www.personallyyours.co.uk/_auction/default.htm
