Surely however much money you have this is never impressing anyone.
In a way I doubt very affluent people would ever want to draw attention to themselves but maybe it the fringe money people see personalised number plates as a badge of distinction.

Max Bygraves, entertainer, sold his beloved MB 1 to Registration Transfers, along with the Rolls Royce it has been on for many years.

Born on 16th October 1922, Bygraves is remembered by many for the famous radio programme Educating Archie and for TV's Singalongamax and Family Fortunes.

He holds the record for artists appearing at the Royal Variety Performance. He reputably refused up to £50,000 from Mercedes Benz for his private number plates.

Many, many years ago, I worked for a gentleman who owned registration number K1 which was used on his own personal vehicle. One day he asked me to go on an errand for him but my own vehicle was in for service so he threw me the keys of K1 and off I went. My destination was some 20 miles away and throughout the journey I was subjected to constant inspection by other drivers, particularly when stopped at traffic lights. The most disturbing part of the whole return journey was the fact that I was pulled over no less than 3 times by a police patrol vehicle and subjected each time to a thorough interrogation. Since that time never felt the need to have a personalised plate. Must say the gentleman owning the number was just that, a gentleman.
