  ‘F1’ plate on sale for £10m 8 Jul 2014 (News)
  The cherished registration, which was bought for £440,000 six years ago, has been listed by its owner Afzal Kahn, who has it registered on to his Bugatti Veyron sports car.  It’s alleged that Mr Kahn turned down an offer of £6 million in 2013, but now appears to be willing to sell, with a list price of £10,009,995. The ‘F1’ plate was previous registered to a Volvo S80 and owned by Essex County Council, but was sold by the council to raise money for training young drivers.  Mr Kahn paid the council £400,000 for the plate - then a record - but now appears to be ready to cash in on his investment.  Market experts Carreg.com are certain that £10m is achievable, but are undecided on how high the sky limit could be for a British registration mark.     “Number ‘1’ plates have always been considered as the ultimate cherished numbers and are often the most valuable registration plates found on the market,” said Russell Palmer of Carreg.com.  “Often these will command three or four times and sometimes greater the value of a corresponding single digit number plate bearing the same initials.

  Dealers Offer P/Xs to Wider Market on Manheim's Simulcast 25 Oct 2009 (News)
  However, supported by highly detailed condition reports and multiple damage images, that assumption is no longer accurate: 22% of the total numbers of dealer cars sold online were for less than £1,000; 43% were between £1,001 and £3,000, with barely a third over £3,000. Manheim Auctions’ Simulcast is the UK’s premier trade-only online wholesale channel, linking dealer vendors with trade buyers via the internet to physical auctions, providing a much wider audience than is actually present in the auction hall.

  Three Years Insurance on New Corsa For £339 20 Dec 2006 (News)
  For example, a more mature female driver with a clean licence could save upwards of £500, based on a quote from the same source. What’s more, any no claims bonus you have on your existing car policy can be carried over, and you can still earn NCB in the three years of cover if you remain claim-free. Once the offer ends, drivers will still find premiums are more than reasonable, as the new Corsa has insurance groupings which start in the lowest possible group 1!

  It’s often just a battery re-charge that’s needed – not a replacement battery. Even leaving a car parked for a couple of weeks can allow enough draindown from security systems, etc., to flatten the battery. Many motorists buy a new battery, costing £50 to £100, at the first sign, but they may not actually need one.
