The most expensive licence number in Britain, A 1, is owned by car dealer Trevor Laker in Leicester. He has been offered 50,000 £ for it, but he has refused to sell it. The licence number is to be sold after his death and the money used for a home for homeless dogs.
 The trio Beverly Sisters with their licence plate BEV 3.  Lord Bradzon, who received the first licence to fly an airplane in Britain has gotten hold of the licence number FLY 1. The rich and famous over in England pay hilarious amounts of money for special licence plates for their cars. Parliament member Gerald Nabarromed has three cars. The licence numbers are NAB 1, NAB 2 and NAB 3. South Africa’s official representative in London has got SA 1. |
 The English film star, Sabrina, who’s chest measures 41 inches sees to it that people don’t forget this through her licence number S 41. Rhodesia’s representative has got RHO 1 and as you can see from the text under the picture above, Sabrina has got S 41. And Cary Grant drives a car with the number CG 1 when filming in England. There are enough eccentric people in Britain to ensure that the dog home will be build when Trevor Laker kicks the bucket and A1 is finally up for sale.The hunt for special licence plates have reached epidemic proportions among those who like to be noticed, like movie stars and other members of the entertainment business. They seam to think that the advertising value of a funny or special number plate is worth the prizes they have to pay.
