It's been dubbed one of Britain's rudest number plates and the pleasure of owning it could be all yours, as long as you have £150,000 to spare. Because cheeky reg plate ORG 45M is back on the market.
Plates which have suggestive or frankly rude connotations are usually pulled off the market by the DVLA. But this screamer has slipped though the net and is set to make a big noise in the field of unusual and distinctive plates.
It's been up for sale multiple times and was first on sale in 1995 for £50,000, the Mirror reports. It was then bought by meat importer Alan Burke from Sevenoaks in Kent in 2002, but it was sold again as his wife didn't want to travel in his vehicle.
It can now be bought via 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.”
Jake Smith, managing director of Absolute Reg, was quoted in BirminghamLive saying: "We've seen a few weird and wonderful plates in our time but this one takes the biscuit. It's very unusual for a plate like this to be available.
"The DVLA aren't really fans of rude-sounding plates. Normally they will pull plates like this off the market before their release date but this one must have slipped through the net so the buyer need not worry. It's completely legitimate.
"I think it's fair to say this plate will probably attract a certain type of person, someone with a definite sense of humour, and we're sure there will be a lot of interest. Even more so because of how rare it is."
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".
