VIP 1 Number Plate Breaks British RecordRoman Abramovich is not short of a bob or two as he proved this week when he paid £ 285,000 for a very special Private Number Plate. The private number plate VIP 1 was first issued in 1979 by DVLNI (the Northern Ireland equivalent of the DVLA) for use by Pope John Paul II on his visit.
The private number plate was previously sold in 2000 for £85,000 and then changed hands for an undisclosed sum before being advertised earlier in the year. The sale is the highest price paid for a private number plate beating 51 NGH that was sold at auction by the DVLA in April 2006. Personalised Number Plate News: 06-07-2006 |
