Winner of DVLA’s free prize draw for a Mini One announced
Alison Flockhart from Inverness won the brand new Mini One after registering to bid at a DVLA personalised registration auction.
The free prize draw was held to celebrate DVLA’s 25th anniversary of selling personalised registrations and its 150th auction. Anyone who registered to bid at the 150th auction or the auction in Twickenham Stadium in September was entered into the prize draw.
The Mini One, which has low emissions and is manufactured in the UK, was provided by DVLA’s auctioneers at no cost to the taxpayer.
