It is (or was) owned by an Audi dealer. I thought it was Smith Knight Fay in the Stockport / Manchester area, but I posted that and someone corrected me, I just can't remember what the correction was.
I saw AUD 1 on a white Audi in Bretton, Peterborough earlier today. "That'll be worth a few quid" I thought to myself. Might be able to retrieve a photo from the dashcam. Stupot123 said:
I actually think that’s really cheap for what it is.
All the single letter S plates have already been issued, so new supply is zero, and there will only be around 90 double digits and then another 90 in the reverse format, so an extremely rare commodity.
Second only to the single singles, which with an S would be in the £400-500k region.
That would be much more at one of the plate sales websites, you missed a bargain, should have bid!
Saw this last week.
I sold him it, the M2 that is not the plate. All the single letter S plates have already been issued, so new supply is zero, and there will only be around 90 double digits and then another 90 in the reverse format, so an extremely rare commodity.

B 16 looks like somewhat of a bargain at that price IMO!It does seem to be the case that prices are very 'variable' with dateless stuff - it seems like owners/sellers just pick a number they like/want and give it a punt. lol
I think that's why I prefer the Auction Sales model - at least that way a bidder/buyer can have some confidence that (outside of shill bidding problems...) they are paying somewhere near 'fair market value'.
I was looking at a couple on Collecting Cars this week, but they were being bid on by apparent plate dealers so I thought it best to not get caught up in that!

Back in the 80’s a local owner of a small rural petrol station in a remote part of west wales had ‘EJ 1’ and allegedly Elton John offered £10k for it, but they were simply not interested in selling. Typical Cardi’s. What would that be worth today!
Think Eddie Jordan has it nowDamp Logs said:

While it's a nice enough plate, that's hitting all the typical "aspirational" obnoxious chav chariot points; black Range Rover, black alloys, blacked out everything, tints, parked on DYLs and facing the wrong way. Ruins the plate rather, given what it's attached to.

I seem to recall some chat about a change in the law but who reads the Highway Code once they've passed their test?

It’s just someone with a nice plate on a black Land Rover.
