Default What's worth more - car or plate?

Saw this the other day. Unusual reg, and car looked to be spotless, from what I could see. Don't see many around now...



How much do they go for in proper good nick?

Car will be worth a bit of coin but that plate will be worth a fortune IMO.


Cheers,

That'll be a one (wealthy) owner car, and one family owned plate.
Doubt the plate has ever been sold.

Plate imo,its got to be worth a few quid.Someone I know has got r** 78 they were his initials and the family have owned that plate for minimum of 25 years.Two letters and two numbers is going to be worth more.

There's an old E36 325i just down the road from me (in mint condition I might add) with the reg plate OD 1, must be worth a fortune compared to the car.

Plate worth around 3-4kIMO advertised on regtransfers eBay etc, around X is not a desirable letter as how many people's surname begin with X?

Loads of plates advertised not too many get sold and when they do most are nothing like what there advertised for.
