India’s 5 most EXPENSIVE car number plates
Registration plates often become the identity of the vehicle and in many cases, the owners prefer to have registration plates that are lucky to them. Registration plates in India cannot be customised like in foreign countries. However, many RTOs across India put registration plates on auction, especially the highly sought-after single-digit and double-digit numbers. Even such auctions can earn a lot of money for the RTOs. Here are a few most expensive registration plates in India that are as expensive as a new car.
Porsche 718 Boxster
Registration number price: Rs 31 lakhs
Toyota Land Cruiser LC200
Registration number plate price: Rs 18 lakhs
This car is also owned by K. S. Balagopal who had gone for a similar 001 registration number for his Land Cruiser. The auction happened quite sometime back, which is why he paid only Rs 18 lakhs instead of Rs 31 lakhs. This Toyota Land Cruiser carries the registration number ‘KL 01 CB 0001’. The Land Cruiser costs close to Rs 1 crore, ex-showroom. This man owns two of the most expensive registration plates in India!
