Reg Plate value to Car vale ratio....

[TEKNOPUG]

Around my part of north London I regularly see a dark blue Audi A3Tdi with the registration plate "A3". Now given that it appears to be a pretty standard spec (no S-Line or anything) I'd imagine that the car is probably worth £25k? I could say for sure what "A3" is worth but it must be well into 6 figures, maybe even £500k?

There are plenty of photos around or Veyrons, Ferraris, Zonda etc sporting obscenely expensive plates but I can't remember ever see such a mismatch in values.

Has anyone else spotted seemingly expensive plates on otherwise unexcepional cars?
