Sorry Craig, usually I take your valuations at face value but I think you are way out here.
In fairness you do say "easy".
This plate is not real good, it's way beyond that.
You can't make ANNIE any other way.
I have it on reasonable authority that LEW1S has been offered a lot more than £150000 for his plate.
LEW1S, DAV1D, B1LLY etc. way better than a 1x1
I'd take a 1x1 over anything with a suffix or prefix. Having your name on your car looks naff to me.In fairness you do say "easy".

I ask because my dad has told me on many occasions that years ago (back in the 60's) his friend had that plate on a Morris 1100 (a la Fawlty Towers) which belonged to the blokes sister. I never expected to see it on a car, so I'll tell him it's still around.
His friend also had the plate, 1 CUM

Does anyone know the history / backstory of that plate ? I thought the DVLA only auctioned un-released plates and not re issues ?

You are correct DVLA only auction un-releleased numbers and according to Noel Woodall's "Car number's" book ANN 1E was never released until 1989..

1 CUM is an original release..

@ £39K 30 years ago they overpaid for it in a big way. Over the years it has increased in value and yes, is a £150K plate today easy.
What were 1x1's selling for 30 years ago?

ANN 1E is only any good if you're called ANNIE. It's no better than DAN 1E, FAN 1E, FAN 1Y or BOB 1Y. They're not really 'way beyond real good', are they?

I've never seen 7 A on a Bentley.
On the singlesingle site it's showing on a Maybach, I checked Ask Mid to see if the plate had changed but that's also showing it on a Maybach 57. The gov DVLA check tax website doesn't show 7 A at all so must be on retention?

I was bored so checked the green numbers of sold plates on the Yet To Be Found list:
9 A is on a white Mercedes SLK.
3 B is on a silver Porsche 1600 Coupe
8 B is on a grey Bentley Bentayga
7 G is on a green Audi RS5

5 H is on a Ferrari 488
7 H is on a grey BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT
6 J is on a white MG Midget

2 T is on a red Mercedes SL350
