As always, prices quoted in this report include fees and taxes.
June's top 5
This month's auction was a little light on really impressive numbers, and the prices paid reflected the fairly routine range of registrations on offer. Nevertheless, there were still some interesting combinations and quite a few bargains to be had.
![Registration 1 OOG](https://pb.regtransfers.co.uk/PlateBuilder/getimage?imagepath=platebuilder/web/baseplates/baseplates-pair-no-imprint.png&ypos=120&xpos=300&fontsize=112&webp=yes&platetext=1oog)
The top price in June's sale was the £46,959 paid for the enigmatic 1 OOG. Visually the combination could work as a representation of "1 dog" but, equally, it could mean 100 and the initial G, or something entirely different. Whatever the motive for buying, it's a good-looking number.
In second place, 150 HO (£36,058) would have been a fantastic plate for a person or business resident in Soho. Third came AVI 5 at £32,193, which would make an instantly recognisable "Avis" plate for promoting an Avis car rental franchise.

115 SA at £30,267 and 154 L at £30,126 came fourth and fifth respectively.
Reading material
The strongest performers amongst the word plates on offer in this auction were BAD 801S ("Bad boys") at £25,773, BAN 61N ("Bangin'") at £22,691 and THE 900D ("The good") at £20,637. Others on offer included FAS 76R ("Faster") at £19,995, COW 30Y ("Cowboy") at £14,923 and WTF 805S ("WTF Boss") at £13,100.
We also saw the return of the cryptocurrency theme we've observed in previous auctions as CR10 PTO ("Crypto") sold for £12,804.
Names
Name combinations bought in the June auction included NAZ 4 ("Naz A", "Naz 4" or "Naza") at £17,427, 84 DAM ("Adam") at £16,181, SOP 1A ("Sophia") at £14,576, BE17 TLY ("Bentley") at £12,933 and A88 BAS ("Abbass") at £11,662.
A handful of very good names were snapped up at bargain prices, including JUD 3C ("Jude C") which sold for £9,107, FU11 LER ("Fuller") for £8,952 and SV51 NGH ("SV Singh") for £8,439.
Cars
Car references were, as always, a big part of the sale and the usual plethora of possible Porsche plates went under the hammer as 911 JV (£18,120), PJS 911 (£11,649), 911 PUD (£8,156) and 911 JDD (£6,513) all found buyers. Of course, the BE17 TLY "Bentley" registration we mentioned above is very likely to have been bought by the owner of a Bentley car.
BUG 20 (£12,920) would be a great plate for a VW Beetle or a Bugatti.
Others
Another returning favourite was the theme of meaningless symmetry that has proven very popular with those who want strong visual impact without conveying a specific message. OO04 OOO , which sold for £14,204 was an excellent example, and continues a trend that has been visible for some time now.
The eternal popularity of the repeated digit "0" or letter "O" was demonstrated again this month by 125 OOO (£21,279), OOO 5L (£7,784), N70 OOO (£5,177), D100 OOO (£4,998). Again, these numbers don't convey any obvious meaning or message, but they are undeniably visually striking.
