Numberplate AB1 - how much does the team think it's worth?

Any advance on £160,000?

And sold to the ex Chief Constable too! How cosy.

They are coming up with the £500,000 number because thats what AG 1 is listed for.

That logic doesn't really work... if an unrealistic seller lists AG 1 for £50,000,000 does that mean AB 1 is worth that too?

Also its a bit silly to then say it'll be worth £700,000 in a few years... they were talking to a private number plate dealer was he ever going to do anything apart from praise them as awesome investments?

stty journalism from that rag, as expected.

I saw the number plate "3" on a Mini a few months ago. Real, or not?

There is a web site to check about it on, but I don't know it.

Not a real mainland UK number, possibly channel isles?

Yup, CI. Saw a CI Jag with the number plate 7 once.

Apparently over there low digit numbers are high status.

Stick AG1on an old RR Phantom and pretend to be Goldfinger. iIRC, it was just AG in the film.

Could be, but this was on the back lanes around Lichfield area.

Bigger question is how did an ex-chief constable have £160k spare?

I smell a fiddle, and he'll be selling it on for a large profit soon.

Guernsey cars are just numbers, and often black plate with white/silver digits.

Jersey cars are J reg on normal plates.

J plates that are especially good sell for tens of thousands, my family have a couple of 3 digit and 4 digit plates, and they're never going to get sold.

Inheritance? Not unusual for parents to die early and leave a house to an only child, etc.

You are a sarcastic bugger, sir. I respect you for that.

It's utterly above board, nothing to see here.

it's simply a coincidence that it was sold to someone in the inner circle for an undisclosed price.

I remember that on a Rover P6 V8 years ago when I lived up that way. We were all convinced it was modded as it used to move along quite nicely and sounded lovely.

This would be worth a fortune !!
