saw a red 612 near botanical gardens on the way to work

there are always good cars around there porsches, ferraris, lambos or astons

[Phatboy]

Whoa, where did you see this? I've seen the ACT Number 1 (also on a Merc) but not the Vic one.

Damn, plates are worth more than the car.

I've seen that car with that plate in Geelong, near the Carousel around the Western Beach area.

That plate might be worth over a million dollars... http://www.caradvice.com.au/6764/number-pl...orth-1-million/

i believe that numberplate sold through Dutton's in South Yarra for $2.1mil

kinda makes the $250k car look cheap eh?

Some people just shouldnt have money...

why? i'm sure he has worked hard for it...

May have. may not have. I'm sure Paris hilton has worked hard to not have to work a day in her life either That's not the point though. Why spend that much on a licence plate of all things?

Could buy a nice house for that price.

a nice house AND that car.

[HEKT1K]

im sure he has several sweet houses/cars. who WOULDN'T want the numberplate 1? i reckon it's awesome

Dude seriously, I'm sure the owner of that plate spent that much money on that plate because he has lots of money to spend.

If you think he's only worth the amount of the license plate and that car you'd probably be mistaken.

yeh that privilege alone is worth the 2.1mil easy

[Phatboy]

2.1 mil is a bargain.

I remember some young Saudi Prince bought the Number 1 plate in UAE I think for US$15mil. And he's putting it on his bedroom wall instead of one of the many supercars he owns.

To clarify i was pointing out it seems like a waste of money to me.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^True

I hate number plates, ruins the look of the car and it's just a sheet of metal with a number embossed on it with some paint.

The Miura and SV are gorgeous

I have a MAJOR Miura fetish... great pics

I wish i was in that position, because you know that if he/she's spent that much on a number plate, he/she's crossed a lot of things off their 'things to do with my money' list to get down to 'buy an expensive numberplate'.

plus, it's probably the only truly unique thing in the auto industry these days. There always a chance that someone else will pull up next to you in an identical murcielago/reventon/Aston DBS but no-one will EVER pull up next to you with the #1 numberplate.

...no-one will EVER pull up next to you with the #1 numberplate.

I'm a massive number plate nerd (I keep a registry of numerics etc) but that statement is true of any plate.

you know what i mean, the odds of someone with a single digit plate being nearby are astronomical (that being said, i followed "27" down the monash a few weeks back) - if you decide to go for a personalised plate the individuality isn't nessecarily there is "SKYLIN", "SKYLNE", "SKYLN3", "SKYLYNE", "SKILYNE" , "SK1LYNE" and the infinite number of permutations mean you 'individual' plate isn't as individual as you might think. Whereas, single digits, well, there's only nine of them.
