On Friday there was a programme on channel four that covered some personalised number plates and their owners. The documentary style story discussed some high value private registration numbers as well as covering some cheaper alternatives. The main focus of the programme was to demonstrate how sought after personalised number plates are.
There were several car registration numbers featured with the main focus being around N1 GEL owned by an Essex business man and took pride of place on his yellow lambo. The only thing that came close to this fellas, quality personalised number plate and superb car, was his “thunderbirds” style hidden garage under his drive, you have to see it, the ultimate boyz toy.
Three other Nigel’s that had private number plates, albeit they all conceded they would rather have N1 GEL. They each had to make do with personalised number plates N2 GEL that was an account referred to as Nigel 2 and AU 1 which was a gold bullion dealer in Birmingham’s famous Jewellery quarter, and BL03 JOB was a chap from Tewkesbury
The AU 1 number plate shares the alpha combination for the periodic table of elements for Gold (AU 79) and apparently featured in the James Bond film Gold finger.
