Which is the most expensive number plate in the uk and why?
Answers:
M1 - The World's Most Expensive Number Plate.
The Registration Number M1 fetched a new world record price of £331,500 when it was sold at Auction at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2006. It was sold to an anonymous phone bidder, believed to be a Cheshire businessman purchasing the plate as a present for his six year old son!
M1 was first issued in Cheshire in 1903, and therefore it seems the registration will remain in the North West.
M1 was previously owned by the National Trust and the proceeds from the sale will be used to help maintain the Tatton Park estate in Cheshire, a National Trust owned estate.
Although M1 was expected to fetch between £80,000 to £120,000, the actual price of £331,500 eclipses the previous world record of £285,000 paid for any registration, that was the amount paid by the Russian billionaire owner of Chelsea Football Club, Roman Abramovich, for the registration VIP1.

A1 and K1NGS. A1 for obvious reasons, and I believe that K1NGS made the most money ever at a plate auction a couple of years back.

VIP I. was bought by Roman Abramovich ,It was formerly the papal car registration.The plate was originally created for Pope Paul 11.At £285,000 pounds the sale of VIP1 sets a new record paid for a UK number plate.
Contact the D.V.L.A, they are the only people who can give you the accurate answer. As at 1992 DAV1 D and BOW1 E went for over £35,000 each at Christies, but that was a long time, imagine how much they would sell for today in the face of Mr Beckham.
