The number plate was first registered more than 104 years ago and its previous owner was the Essex County Council, which used it on a humble Volvo S80 company car. The council will now be using all proceeds from the sale to start a driver training program for young boys, reports The Daily Mail.
This latest record may not last long, however, because UK’s oldest number plate, ‘A1,’ will be auctioned off in the near future and it’s tipped to reach an even higher figure.
