nothing slips through the net eh?!
Original purchase price £405
Speculation that it will sell for
£270 000 in the coming days!

of course it will. Oh I reckon a plate like that will easily top over ;
£1m

Wasn't the worlds most expensive over
£5m??

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

How the hell is that the only spelling of Abu Dhabi?

Yes I had seen that by googling it. However, have a look at the date of the video - Dec 2010.

AB11 DAB still available for less than a grand !!!

Calm down guys. It's not one of mine after all

Buy it!

Reserve 25k passed. auction 19 feb.

and you believe that?

As it happens, yes. It's now been reported by a second reputable source.

It's taken over a year to sell and was bought for 405. I think people on here should open their minds a little.

I think you should open your mind to the fact some people out there believe their own hype. Some people also make up prices to see if they can generate interest (your £94,000 for H15 LDN is a prime example of that).

H15 LDN could be worth that - perhaps even a bit more too ...

own hype? it's in 2 different newspapers!

why on earth would someone pay over £
25K for AB11 DHB when they can have AB11 DAB is beyond me - surely someone who may be interested would certainly do some research first !!!!!!!!!!!!!

and my answer to me buying it is - no thank you, I don't think its any good !!

DHB is DHABI without the vowels (in bold) ... a nicer way of abbreviating it cf. "DAB" ...

It's true lol!

All from the same source though - the company that is drumming up interest in the auction.

AB11 DAB has now been sold - we sold this overnight but unfortunately the registration was no longer available ( it takes around 24/48 hours for us to receive updates from the DVLA so this registration would have been sold elsewhere )

Anyone on here purchased the registration ?

wasn't me - but it was a bargain at 1k I must admit ... hats off to whomever bagged it!

The guy lives in Dubai and purchases on behalf of customers who also have vehicles in the UK.

Absolutely no connection to reading the forum - just massive coincidence

coincidence? you sure? where's my cut?

it's probably due to the coverage AB11 DHB is getting?

who is this "guy" and how do you know this?

this is the guy that purchased from us but was no longer available - we do not know who has actually got it - thats why I asked "any of you guys purchased it?"
