They are made by Absolute Reg and are still available to purchase.

A full list of their plates and prices are listed below and taking the top spot is a plate worth a whopping £6.5million.

Jake Smith, Director of Absolute Reg told The Sun the market for these registration numbers is “fairly wide” although the buyer needs “very deep pockets.”

He added: “Whilst we have NDAs signed with buyers of these registrations around the cost etc., they are predominantly high net worth individuals or businesses.”

Jake explained the reason why he believes people are willing to fork out huge wads of cash to add a personal touch to their vehicle is because they are “becoming harder to obtain.”

“Registrations such as 5 F would demand a higher cost as it could target individuals with initials SF whilst a registration such as 5 X would be less desirable as there are fewer individuals with SX as an initial”, he said.

If any of Absolutes Reg’s top 10 plates were to sell it would make them the most expensive numberplate sold in the UK.

It comes as the most expensive personalised plates of 2023 were revealed with the priciest fetching over £120,000.

The most expensive plate of the year was H1NDU which went for £112,010. This was followed by £106,090 paid for 1DEO.

The most expensive plate in the UK was 25 0, which went for £518,480. The owner was thought to have bought the licence plate to go on his Ferrari 250 GT SWB.
