A licence plate with nothing but the number 1 on it has been sold for a record £7m.

It was auctioned for charity in the United Arab Emirates, beating the previous record of £3.5m for a plate featuring the number 5.

The successful bidder said he bought it because he "wants to be the best in the world".

Saeed Khouri, a member of a wealthy Abu Dhabi family, added: "I bought it because it's the best number."

However, he would not say which of his many cars would carry the record-breaking single-digit plate.

The oil-rich UAE began auctioning off so-called vanity licence plates last May.

Proceeds from the auctions go to a rehabilitation centre for victims of traffic accidents.

On Saturday, 90 licence plates were auctioned off, raising a total of £12m.

The previous five such events raised more than £25m.


that level of money is simply bananas!!! if it was for the fact that it all goes to a good cause i would think they were mad as well as filthy rich :eek:

Yes they're are two Debenhams there that I knew off a few years ago.

but the Royal family over there get given low numbered registration plates - so I don't quite understand this story. You are giving a lower number depending on your seniority with the royal hierachy. I have been in number 7 and number 15, but that was a few years ago :D
