Not millions - as it says K1 NGS was the most expensive for years. P1 LOT was on a brand new Audi A8 limo a little while back and has been on Bentleys, Aston's etc as well.

Barnsley Council own reg plates THE 1 & THE 2 both on Volvo S80 limos, rumour has it the Queen offered daft money for THE 1 but they turned it down.

Personally i'd have given it Danny Wilson in 1997 for getting us promotion to the Prem lol....

I used to walk past F1 and 1F every day up to a few months back. Chelmsford borough council had them on a couple of Volvo's.

I have Y2PER on my FRS and bid on PER2Y in a recent DVLA auction. I was outbid and it went for about 3K. I recently spotted it for sale for 15K

The Queen doesn't need to display a number on any car carrying her. There's a great story about the Edinburgh Traffic wardens trying to figure out how to ticket the limo parked outside the General Assembly of the Church Of Scotland without plates!!!

P1 LOT Ł66,000 Sold in Oct 1996

Must have been sold on if it achieved Ł1m. This info was taken from the DVLA Auctions website search facility
http://www.dvla-som.co.uk/home/en/Se...LOT&x=141&y=14

The plate I want only fetched Ł25k - I actually saw it a few years ago in Wilmslow on an old Honda Accord
1 MAC Ł25,000 Sold in Dec 1992

Why did 786 A go for so much? I can't work that one out?? What is SJP1?

So are your ones Al RS See you? And Al RS F**K You? Or am I missing something?

Unless the plate is blatantly obvious, like 51 NGH, I can't see any reason to spend more than you'd need to for it.
