THE race is on to become Didcot's coolest motorist by winning an online auction for number plate D10COT.
The DVLA number plate was bought seven years ago as an investment by 36-year-old Marc Joines, of Swinburne Road, Oxford, and has never been fitted to a car.
He took a punt on Didcot's future growth to buy D10COT for £650.
He has put it up for auction on eBay, with a starting price of £1,000.
He said: “I knew Didcot was an up and coming town. Now it’s a much bigger place than it was, I think the time is right to sell it.”
