250K seems a little steep lol.

Default Ultimate RS number plate

Forget £250k for RS 1
I own the number plate RA11YRS and wondered how to get in touch with the Focus RS rally team to see if they are interested in buying it. My sons would love to see it on the one of the RS rally cars and hopefully I could make a little bit of profit!!
Any help would be appreciated

Default RA11YRS

The number plate is the new 11 plate registration for March 2011 and can only be transferred to a new car. So until then it is on retention.
The spacing is RA11 YRS but careful positioning of the screws fixing the plate would make it look good

Yea you need to be relieved of some cash before you have the priviledge of being able to sell on this site... it will eat into your profit, so think carefully.

Yeah, but the car will likely depreciate, the plate shouldn't so from an investment perspective....still wouldn't drop a quarter of a mill on that one though !

I bought RA11LYE, but obviously I wouldn't like to talk about it on a Ford forum in case it was mistaken for a free plug

Do it! the fancy font plates look out of place,
It sits well on the wheels, and it is the best colour next to crystal blue

i knew a guy many moons ago who had the plates "rs 16" and "rs 20", the later on was on his 3 door and that was at ford fair in, i think, 96

don't know what he's done with them now though, but might be worth a few quid

The plate font lets it down, if it was mine i would get some original type dealer plates with the bigger letters that chris latham does
