The most sought after car number plate in Abu Dhabi was auctioned today at the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel for AED 52.2 million, entering the Guinness World Records as the 'most expensive number plate'.
The (1) number plate was sold to Emarati businessman Saeed Abdul Ghafar Khouri who managed to break the record held by his compatriot Talal Khouri for buying the number (5) for AED 25 million.
He insisted on bidding for the number despite fierce competition. This he did in response to Minister of Interior Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s announcement that the revenues of the auction would be used for establishing a centre for the rehabilitation of accident victims.
He said he will not sell the number plate 1.
A total of 90 car plate numbers auctioned last night yielded Dh89 million.
Number plate 1111 was sold for Dh2.32 million, number 96 for Dh2.5 million, number 32 for Dh2.5 million, number 100 for Dh2.82 million, number 51 for Dh2.15, number 78 for Dh2.04 million, and number 81 for Dh2 million.
