Thought I'd give everyone some jaw dropping prices form the plate auction at the Brisbane Motor Show from Wednesday night

Q2007 = $5,500 CLASSIC = $14,000 Q21 = $97,500 Q4000 = $17,000 MICHAEL = $20,000 MAROONS = $15,000 BENTLEY = $110,000 SKYLINE = $12,000 ENGLAND = $9,000 CRICKET = $5,000

These arnt all the plates that were there, there were 7 7 letter plates most were over $30k

BENTLEY smashes the previous highest bid/sale of FERRARI which sold for $85,000 back in '99

Some people have to much money

It seems odd that BENTLEY would be the one to go for $110k though. I understand Ferrari, but Bentley?

Wish they'd throw some of that money over here dry.gif

ROCK ON

They have to cover for their small wang on way or another

I have it on video as well as Q21 but dont have a program which accept's the file type - its a good watch tho as it climbs by a grand each bid, once it got to $100k a random guy on the phone came out with $101k

BEWARE

Most Bently's are worth more than most Ferrari's so it makes perfect sense, it went up in $10k bids at one stage! Then the guy that backed out at $90k for Bentley paid $45k for a wildcard and got VANTAGE...he obviously has a few nice cars!

I can't believe some dick payed $34k for a 7 letter wildcard and got 0000001....what a knob!

7 Letter wildcards

THEBOSS
CARRERA
NOLIMIT
DYNAMIC
0000001
CAYENNE
VANTAGE

Didnt the first wildcard go for 25k'ish?

Was virtually sure that it was under 30 grand. I remember most of them were around 35k

Was a great nights entertainment though smile.gif

I thought the record was held by Stefan when he bought the Q1 plates back in the 80s. Supposedly they are valued at $1m now. Or is that record just for sales by PPQ?

They were only bought for $100k

And yes they are valued at $1m these days

BEWARE
Post #21

I wonder if they'd go for that though, as the saying goes, something is only WORTH what someon else is willing to pay!

The Q plates were the first ever issued in QLD. Q1 was the first ever registration, Q21 was the 21st, and so on.

mmmm what a dick, as if anyone would pay it!!!

A guy I went to school with, his mum has Q15 and has had for ages....would be worth $100k+ if Q21 went for $97k!!

I don't think any old joe can just stick his plates in the auction either!

it's more supply Vs. demand then simply saying its only worth what somone is willing to pay...there is only ever one plate, hence why some are worth so much...if Q1 is valued at 1 million, then im sure its insured for that much as well thumbsup.gif

insured??????????????????????? number plate?????????

If I lose my number plate I go to Qld transport and they make me another for a small fee... Im pretty sure you could insure a number plate dont get me wrong, insurance company's would love for someone to do that but I am pretty sure YOU DON'T HAVE TO!

but yea i would rather a bentley then a farrari...

the Q1 plate that he puts on the actual car is just a copy...obviously putting the genuine thing on would just get stolen

we are talking a 1 million dollar plate after all, its not like its the norm...its an investment, so i assume it would be insured.
