Steamy X-rated car licence plate goes on sale to motorists for £150,000

A raunchy registration plate is back on sale for a cool £150,000.

Motorists can buy the ORG 45M car licence plate, which can be read as the word "orgasm", once again after previously belonging to a moped and most recently an orange BMW M4.

It first went on sale back in 1995 for £50,000. The registration went on to be purchased by 61-year-old meat importer Alan Burke, from Sevenoaks in Kent, in 2002.

Mr Burke's wife, 58, was reported to have refused to travel in her husband's vehicle.

The mischievous licence plate is now being sold again online at regtransfers.co.uk.

The website’s Angela Bahn told The Sun : “It is certainly attracting a lot of interest. It is expensive but unique.

“We had PEN 15 which caused quite a stir. ORG 45M might suit someone in the sex toy business.

“But if someone is an attention seeker there aren’t many better ways to attract attention.”

Many people will pay thousands of pounds to have a personalised number plate on their car, with most opting for their name, initials or even a quirky nickname.

The most anyone has ever paid for a licence plate in the UK was £500,000 by the owner of a Ferrari 250 for the fitting registration number for that car of 25 0.

But that pales in comparison to the world record, which is held by a Saudi who reportedly stumped up £10 million for the number "1".
