do they hold their value, i know this one has gone up, but do plates in general hold their price?

[nikolashewitt]

i thought it was more than 400, wasnt it like 440k?

i wonder how much "1" will go for well over 600k?

It was 375,00 + VAT so a bit over, but the record is at 3.5m for the number plate "M1" and they reckon the number plate "1" will smash that

I reckon so i cant see why they would go down prob up, with time and what cars it has been on

The world record price for a registration plate, £3.5 million, was paid at an auction in Abu Dhabi last year by a prominent Gulf businessman, Talal Ali Mohammad Khouri, for the single-digit number 5.That record is expected to be broken later this year, when Abu Dhabi Police auction the most sought-after number plate in the United Arab Emirates, the single-digit 1.



See above!

Police believed that car plate Number 1 may break the world record as the most expensive number plate.

By Binsal Abdul Kader, Staff Reporter Last updated: January 21, 2008, 00:09


Abu Dhabi: Officials from the Guinness World Records will attend the 'Golden Auction' of the most sought after car number plates such as number 1 to be held on February 16, a senior official told Gulf News.

"Number 1 may break our own world record as the most expensive number plate", said Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rahman M. Ali Al Kamali, Director of Administration of Privatisation and Financial Investments at the Ministry of Interior. "We think it may fetch more than number 5 which sold for Dh25.2 million."

He said it is the third single digit number auctioned by Abu Dhabi police after numbers 5 and 7 were sold last year. Number 7 sold for Dh11 million. Talal Ali Mohammad Khouri, a businessman in Abu Dhabi, bought both number plates 5 and 7.

[Oli_K]

sure it was 500,000k for the plate, guys lives in bradford pretty close to me, funny to think the half million pound plate is going on a 333,000£ car.

Apparently the plate had interest from bernie ecclestone but was outbidded.
