The shortage of existing license plates forced the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs to issue an order according to which “sevens” will be added to the region codes. But not only Russian residents love beautiful combinations of letters and numbers. Here are ten unusual numbers in the world.

The most expensive license plates

Let's start our short review from the most expensive license plate ever purchased.

The three most expensive license plates were sold during auctions in Abu Dhabi. The happy owner of a registration plate with the eloquent number “1” was a resident of Abu Dhabi named Said Abdul Ghafoor Hurri. A member of a wealthy family paid more than $14 million for the right to be “first” on the road, thereby breaking his cousin’s record.

The numbers with the numbers “7” and “5” were bought by businessman Talal Ali Muhammad Hurri, the cousin of Saeed Abdul Ghafoor Hurri, whom we mentioned above. In total, a couple of these registration marks amounted to an impressive amount, which exceeded the bar of 11 million dollars. But now the businessman’s luxury cars look several times more expensive.

"To be or not to be…"

The very first car license plate appeared in 1901. It was installed by Berlin resident Rudolf Herzog. The set of letters "IA1" was dedicated to his beloved. The letters stood for the girl's initials, and the number 1 hinted at her status as the one and only. Deep meaning can still be found in license plates today. Thus, the license plates of two cars in the UK became widely known. When they are nearby, you can read Hamlet's famous saying “To be or not to be...”.

All OK!

One Australian car enthusiast is clearly doing great in life. He is interested in tuning sports cars and motorsports. One day he bought another car with OKOK license plates. The guy liked this positive inscription so much that he installed an even more life-affirming registration plate on his next car.

Cry from the heart

Australian guys have a good sense of humor. So one bachelor decided to express his civic position in relation to the institution of family with the help of a license plate. He installed a sign on his sporty Monaro that read “YMARRY”, which can be translated as the interrogative “Why get married”. With such numbers, you obviously shouldn’t count on a strong monogamous relationship.

Flight of fancy

In the USA the first car plate numbers appeared back in 1903. Since then, they have changed many times and acquired their own subculture. Today, Americans can choose a free combination of letters and numbers. This allowed car enthusiasts to express their imagination as much as possible. In addition to the banal “personalized” and “beautiful” license plates, a huge number of license plates with not entirely decent inscriptions have appeared. Moreover, the authors of many of them are experts on the great and mighty. But you can find numbers that perfectly complement the appearance of the car without obscene language. Like, for example, this pirate jeep in the photo.

Police humor

Representatives of the authorities do not lag behind ordinary citizens in ingenuity. So, in California you can see a patrol car with a “jail” license plate. It is quite possible that such trolling from a police officer can prevent crime and reduce the overall crime rate in a particular area.

Lovers of minimalism

Many people strive to make the license plate speak for itself. So, in 2009, a Libyan developer bought an “ID” number at an auction for 350 thousand pounds. One of the meanings of this abbreviation is precisely “license plate”. However, for a much smaller amount the owner of this Nissan got the number. The inscription “R34” indicates the index of the famous model from this automaker.

Helpful information

However, you can admire your car in a more emotional way. To do this, it is not necessary to call him various diminutive names. It is enough to indicate the car model and your brief impression of it. That's exactly what the owner of this Citroen DS3 did. Perhaps such information will be very useful for potential buyers of the same car.

Without false modesty

For many wealthy people, modesty is clearly of no use. It is for this reason that the famous Russian-English oligarch Roman Abramovich paid 285 thousand pounds for the right to become the owner of the “VIP 1” number. This license plate was originally intended to be mounted on the Popemobile of John Paul II on the occasion of his visit to Northern Ireland. But dad refused to change his number “SCV 1” and the registration plate was put up for sale.

“The only star is you,” the hotel’s slogan flatteringly says on its website. In fact, in a hotel the singular number is not only the star, but also the room. The hotel is more of a conceptual project than a place where you can spend your holiday. There are no rooms in the hotel, only a double bed, several shelves with bedside lamps and tiles on the floor. No door, no walls, no ceiling. According to the authors, this is how you can feel the fullness of Swiss Alps- left alone with them.

The cost of the night is about 13,000 rubles.
