Number plate S 1 sells for new record

The Scottish number plate S 1 has sold for a new UK record price of £404,062.50 this evening at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival auction. The previous record, set only a few months ago was for the number plate F 1 which sold for £375,000.

The next most expensive plate was M 1 selling for £331,000.

This just goes to show that, in these tough 'credit crunch' times, there's still plenty of money being spent on personalised number plates!
