At least that was what happened when Robert Harverson wanted to buy 1 RH regardless of the price tag. The Businessman was so determined to get his hand on the plate number that he blew his budget almost twice to get plate number 1RH. 9.Licence plate: 51 NGH, $300,000 This dateless license plate may owe its popularity to its similarity to the famous last name Singh, but it still pulls its weight in the expensive department. It broke the record when it sold for over $300, 000 in auction way back in 2006. For context, that's roughly two and a half times more than its younger brother "S1 NGH" ( which some consider, much desirable) went for at auction. The cherished license plate was auctioned off to its new undisclosed owner, and it disappeared- supposedly never to be seen again- well until it resurfaced in probably the most unusual way. 8.Licence plate: GS 1, $300,775 The story of this license plate wowed even the auctioneer in charge of its sale.

Roman Abramovich is no exception. 6. M1 - $390,000 Back in 2006 Mike McCoomb, a businessman from England shelved out$390,000 for the 'M1' license plate. The self-made Millionaire made most of his fortune after selling his retail business for $40 million, so it was only right that the father- of - nine treated himself to some well-deserved pampering. 5. S1, $400,000 Believed to be Scotland's first-ever license plate and originally on a car owned by one of Scotland's first car owners Lord Kingsburgh in 1903, This license plate is royalty which explains its ridiculous $400,000 price tag. That wasn't enough to keep license plate enthusiasts away though. It was bought by an anonymous bidder in 2008, who said it would be put on an old red Skoda.Yes, a Skoda. 4. F1 - $580,000 Mike McComb shocked the UK when he paid over $350,000 for a license plate.
