The world's most expensive number plates
2008 has been a year for new records in the marketplace or personalised number plates.
In the U.K. the numbers F1 and S1 sold for £440,000 and £397,500 respectively.
However these amounts are dwarfed by the sale of the registration number "1" in Abu Dhabi which brought an amazing bid of $14.3 million.
This beats the previous record, also held by Abu Dhabi which was $6.8 million for the number "5".
These tremendous amounts were achieved before the current economic downturn really took hold, it is unlikely these records will be broken in 2009.
