I’ve seen that a few times in that area - normally off Berkeley St where I’ve seen it.
Compare it to the apparent size of the "MINI"

The B1 reg must be worth a few hundred pounds but not for me. Listed at number ten in info below
From the link below, top ten reg values that IMO are more realistic than some that own them spout them to be.

The owner is an avid fan of Ferrari's and it was predicted that he brought the licence plate to go on his Ferrari 250 GT SWB.
The plate was sold for an eye-watering amount of £502,500 in 2012 by a private buyer.
The owner was never revealed but it's a wonder if they are a fan of action show G.I.Joe.
The licence plate is one of the oldest around, first made in 1925.
It was once the most expensive licence plate in the world when it sold for £4,800 in 1968.
The title of the well loved motorsports series was sold at auction in 2018 for £440,625.
The owner may not be driving around in an F1 cars but will still feel like a driver with this special licence plate.
It was sold in 2008 for £404,063 and is believed to be worth over a million pounds if sold now.
The plate was won at auction by a Lebanese property developer as a present for his wife, in 2009.
After a bidding war, he ended up paying £352,411.
Currently, no vehicle details can be found for this licence plate.
The M 1 was the first licence plate to be registered in Cheshire in 1903, making it one of the oldest around.

No photo as driving but Porsche 911 passed me Friday night on M1 - registration was A 911.
I believe it's Porsche GB own car.

Can’t remember the exact number, spotted when I was parked up and something like NE11GHE. With no spacing on a commercial vehicle. As it passed I thought it must mean something to the owner then on the back it said “Horses” then it clicked.

In town with some mates a few years ago and we walked past a lap dancing club (yes, we did walk past!), and parked nearby was something like a Golf, can't remember, but the reg was A14 BJS. I saw it a few times after and the cars improved, but I often wondered if she worked there!My mind is clearly a gutter because that’s not what my first thought was when I read it.
