Reg Plates ArticleGuernsey 10 Million Super Car And Cherished Reg Plate
A BESPOKE Rolls-Royce, believed to be the most expensive new car ever sold, has been registered in Guernsey.
But nobody is saying who reportedly paid the £10 million for the car with licence plate number 08.
And the registration plate itself is worth about double the price of an average car.
The car is called ‘Sweptail’, with the name coming from the fact that it was inspired by the classic Rolls-Royces of old, with a swooping rear end.
A more modern concession is the giant glass roof, which resembles a boat when seen from above.
It is the only car of its kind and was reportedly requested by a buyer who is a connoisseur and collector of ‘luxury cars, superyachts and aircraft’.
Guernsey’s Driver and Vehicle Licensing Department said that the registration number was one of those sold at public auction in 2015. It went for £34,000.
While confirming that the number is allocated to a vehicle on the Guernsey vehicle licensing register, DVL said that its policy was not to make public specific details.

Many vendors are introducing cloud based APRN systems, which provide users ease of maintenance and deployability. There is a rise in the users of ANPR systems such as apartments, gated communities and hotels.
The non-uniformity in the design of the number plates across different geographical regions acts as a restraint in the growth for the global ANPR market.
Europe is expected to dominate the global market for ANPR in terms of revenue. While high growth in demand is expected to rise in APAC region in both government as well as commercial sector.
How popular any name or initial it contains is: You are more likely to get good money for a registration plate that spells out a name like 5UE than you are with a more unusual name, simply because there is more demand for Sue (or Dave or Mel) than there would be for Hector, Primrose or Zebedee
How valuable the letters and numbers the plate contains are: in terms of numbers, lower numbers with fewer digits tend to be the most valuable when reselling personalised number plates, making BOB 1 more valuable than BOB 379. Sequential numbers (123, 456 etc.) and repeated numbers (444, 88) are more popular than random combinations, and special occasion numbers like 18 and 21 can also boost a number plate’s value a little. In terms of the letters in a number plate, the likelihood of a series of letters being a name or a person’s initials increases the value of the plate, too.
