In addition, all number plates placed on a vehicle should be of the size, font and layout as set by law. That’s not to say that everyone follows that and those that don’t are breaking the law.
Generally speaking the fewer letters / numbers or those that make up a significant name cost the most.
I believe 25O was the most expensive plate sold at £518K. This once belonged on a Ferrari 250SWB owned by Eric Clapton.
[emoji106] Thanks for the explanation. Like in many other areas, exclusivity can sure cost a lot!

I once saw a Mercedes with a number plate that I considered racist albeit the driver could consider it an abbreviation for the county he originates from. I won't repeat it here but have just checked and it is no longer assigned to a vehicle.
Whether it has since been recalled or sitting on retention I don't know.
