The Bentley is a very nice looking black one.. usually black is just so bland, but that plate really is a looker on it!

Couple more.

1D.....must be worth nearly as much as the Bentley.

I saw this one at my local dealership service centre,its at Wandsworth Bridge,but they are called Chelsea Mercedes.

The number is SFR,but its on USA plate,Washington.. Very nice car,a proper AMG version. But why so far from home ?

1D.....must be worth nearly as much as the Bentley.

The car would fetch maybe £65,000 on a good day, but you'd be lucky to get any no.1 number plate with a single letter for less than £250k, even a back-to-front one.

The value of 1 D will be further enhanced by the "ID" connotation, even if that does require it to be displayed illegally...

Yep, I think it went for £285k ex fees + taxes! IIRC it was auctioned last year and broke some records at the time. I remember reading that it was a present from a guy to his wife...

Interesting to see what these plate make these days.

I once had an interesting plate,this was in the early 1970`s.The number was PLE 73. It was on an interesting car too..

The car was a Damlier DB36.Huge great thing with a big straight-eight engine,and a pre-select gearbox. Who remembers them ?


I gave,free of charge,the car with the plate on to a chum.


Isnt hindsight a wonderful thing.



Mike.
