To be fair, its its going on a 250 GTO, its a £20 million+ car, so I guess in context its not as ridiculous to owners of those things as it seems to us.
it wasn't much since he bought it ages ago, there was a website where you could find the prices that some sold for £2000 - dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk/search/previous-auction-plates.html?plate=2+JWW&searched=true&x=44&y=14
James, you REALLY, REALLY need your own show on mainstream Television. Your passion for everything you vlog comes through in your videos, and the fact you share it all with us. 👍
Can we just thank this guy for starting the video with whats in the title and thumbnail. So many youtubers don't tell/show you until like 9mins in and its fucking infuriating. Videos like this make me want continue watching
Afzal Khan's F1 plate is great! I personally like 51NGH but then that's a given as it is my surname! If you can do it and you like it, go for it I say!
Saw this the other day parked in Leeds Bradford airport, plate caught my eye, wasn't sure if they were same so I just remember seeing something similar so searched up and was right, registered to a Bentley. Mad
Mate, your videos just get better and better. I've followed from the beginning and your channel is by far the best auto channel on UA-cam. The time and effort you put in really shows. Well done Sir. 👏
Always enjoy your video's James, but really enjoyed this one, the Ballance between info, light-heartedness, beauty shots, car action. It was such great mix put together in your classic high quality manner. Best of luck with your wedding soon! Enjoy the day and try occasionally to step back and take it all in, it goes by so quickly!
went mercedes benz world a few weeks ago, it was awesome. the guy you sat with was the same guy i did my amg experience. definetly recommend going there
This isn't even close to how much emarati's spend! in the U.A.E so many people buy number plates that are each a million pound and higher, and its not only emarati, it's also indians and others. The number plate 5 for abu dhabi was sold for about 24 million dollars! it was bought by an emarati named talal khouri. Anyone over there would be extremely lucky to get a number plate below 500k pounds. And recently there was an indian guy who bought the number plate 5 for dubai for 10 million dollars. Its good because all this money actually goes to charity, but i also believe its kind of a waste. I rather spend the money on buying different cars..
Thanks for the amazing Content, James! :) By the way, I think Tim once mentioned that his '87 TB' plate is now worth about 15k. So actually, this plate is worth much more than the car it is on, his old Mini! :D
He literally said "Love from India" because he's likely writing it from his own country. So he IS writing it in his own country. Not only are you ignorant, you're a moron too.
In the Arabian Gulf number plates for some reason is a status symbol, where I'm from in Bahrain the number 600000 was auctioned off for over 720000 GPB, the lower digit numbers can be sold for over a million...
Number plates are so odd over there. Here in the US a personalized plate is only like $50 extra on top of whatever your tag cost anyway. I got the plate "GAPTIZE" for my C5 Z06, and it was only $90
The continental tyres are actually really sticky tyres. On my dads C63 coupe, the continental tyres pick up loads of chippings once they've got up to temperature. Also, AMG cars are so wicked !!
two of them plates live near me, the 51 NGH which I've seen twice in the last month and the 1D which I've seen lots of times in the last 6 weeks, both in Gatley or on Style road which is also goes through Gatley.
oh and as you said you wanted to know what the 1D went on im not fully sure if it was an aston martin or a jag as i was looking at the reg and the driver, i will see next time i see it, give me a hart on the comment and it will log in my youtube and i will remember who you were to post what it was.
Leggo My Ego shame they don't take any immigrants with all that money they have. Especially surprising when it's suppose to be where mecca is.. the Muslim holy land
A vast majority of old, rare plates are re-issued by the DVLA and auctioned. The DVLA is an agency of the Department for Transport of the United Kingdom. Proceeds from their auctions of plates are put back into the DfT which funds things like highways and infrastructure, aviation, rail etc. A registration that was once worthless from decades ago could be reintroduced and sold to a wealthy buyer for half a million, which could in turn fund kilometres of highway resurfacing or junction improvements or railway signal upgrades..
You are mistaking wealthy individuals for the capitalist systems that owns the political systems that drivea inequality intentionally. The reason for war and poverty are because they are businesses for corporations. Late Stage Capitalism is the game.
here in Norway we just got custom plates, it costs just under 1000 pounds and you keep it for 10 years, you can not sell it and when 10 years is up you can send in a new application to get it for another 10 years
I love JWW (and get he's just pointing out the ridiculousness) but honestly it's sad. Look where we are as society....people starving while ppl paying 350k for a stupid metal badge on their car. Fucked up.
Did you stay at the Brooklands hotel next door? I did an AMG drive round the circuit and stayed at the hotel, biggest rooms I've ever seen, they were huge and only £250 per night!
Since the banking crash of 2008, regular investments don't offer the same level of return as they previously did. Savvy UK investors now put their capital in classic cars and high quality cherished registration numbers. I personally had a return of 250% over 13 years, for a £4000 capital. And I had the pleasure of using and looking at my investment every day!
I found a licence plate "360 M" at Oulton Park which must have fell off the back of a 360 Modena, I've since had it signed by Michael Schumacher at Autosport International!!!!

James, when you're there next time, how about showing a bit of the surroundings and some of the old Brooklands banking? Particularly as they've just opened up the old main straight. Awesome content man :)
1D private plate went on a Black Bentley MPV Bentayga W12 Auto , 5950cc 600bhp ( A1 private plate is on a 2007 Mini Cooper s so they don't always go on expensive super cars lol )
James, what event is it at silverstone? I done the academy at brooklands and they offered silverstone, but can't find out any more? Not even from Mercedes! The handling circuit is great, done AMG training pushing a C63 and GTS hard, quite a sore neck the next day!
Seriously James I would pay 500,000 for a car not a plate that goes on a car
Considering a 250 GTO sold for £45M, 500k on a plate isn't all that bad.
perspectives.....
Habibi, come to Abu Dhabi. A good plate will cost upwards from a million
Charles Burgess thats why those idiots are not in EU anymore😂😂

AG112 It is not for sale.
Jovan Korica not anymore but it was for sale
It was for sale to generate free marketing for his business and brand awareness,he never planned to sell
What's this about? Who had the plate?
Jesus, people have money don't they...
haha crazy. 500k+ for a reg is madness
Meanwhile in Dubai 9 million $ for a number plate #5
To be fair, its its going on a 250 GTO, its a £20 million+ car, so I guess in context its not as ridiculous to owners of those things as it seems to us.
Yes and instead of spending it on something meaningful they waste it on a reg-plate ? Go figure ...
MGA those people have already made money than they can think to spend it for

“Hundred and eighty thousand, bargain that one” 😂
How much was 2 JWW?
I reckon about 25-40k

Way too much. Even if he was to buy it today, a 2XXX plate is max £10k.

The F1 car display is absolutely amazing
I see that ring. Congratulations mate!
Aaron Hoare who is he engaged to?

I am putting MCL 720S onto my new 720s lol.
"I'm going home" love it 😂😂
I want the number plate - AR53 OLE
Sorry, mate, but....
B A N N E D!
Can we all just appreciate that he just casually threw these plates on the floor like they're worth nothing xD What a lad
they're copies of the plate, not the actual plates, so yeah they are worth nothing
And even if they were the actual plates they are worth nothing. The worth comes from the legal ability to use them.
It's so good watching and listening to this video with a top surround system and high.
Many Indian customers!!
The guy who got the #5 in Dubai for 9 mil $ is also Indian. Guess it's an Indian thing then.
ikr
im not indian but if im not mistaken indian has many billionaire too
it's a Chinese thing too! They like the number 8!
cat eating human, Fourth highest in the world. 132 to be precise.

I like Mr JWW, he's actually the one car vlogger that's entertaining and worth watching.
I like how he just drops them😂
went mercedes benz world a few weeks ago, it was awesome. the guy you sat with was the same guy i did my amg experience. definetly recommend going there
I love how Mercedes showcased each and every part of formula 1 car . Thank u James.

Why did you not buy the MCL 720S?
It was probably too expensive and it won't fit in with his JWW style plates
Isbak didnt want to pay all that money just for the front one to fall off😂
i actually saw the 5I NGH on a nissan last week on the motorway
SINGH AND KRISHNA went expensive bechare there are many rich Indians sharing names that's why .Love from India James 🇮🇳🇮🇳❤️❤️
go back to ur own country
He literally said "Love from India" because he's likely writing it from his own country. So he IS writing it in his own country.
Not only are you ignorant, you're a moron too.
THINKS JAMES AND CREW THAT WAS ONE GREAT RIDE, THANKS AGAIN.
Our plates in Belgium are pretty cheap in comparison ... 2000€ whatever you choose !
No one obliges you to order one ;-)
I've bought mine when they were going for 1000€.
outlandergopro Cheap ? ;)
Justin 8602 : If you compare it to a 20 000€ plate , it's cheap ;-)
You're mixing up everything dude
In the Arabian Gulf number plates for some reason is a status symbol, where I'm from in Bahrain the number 600000 was auctioned off for over 720000 GPB, the lower digit numbers can be sold for over a million...
just casualy drops them on the ground
The plastic isn't worth anything. You're paying for the registration certificate.
Piet Hein Smit you can get number plates made with whatever you want for like £20
i know, but it looks just looks so casual, and 100.000 pounds here and 60.000 pounds there...
ikr im just dropping around 1.5 million on the floor
Number plates are so odd over there. Here in the US a personalized plate is only like $50 extra on top of whatever your tag cost anyway. I got the plate "GAPTIZE" for my C5 Z06, and it was only $90
Christopher Cook thats cause gaptize is a shit plate and has no demand.
If you pay more than 1k for a plate, you have some issues.
why??
The continental tyres are actually really sticky tyres. On my dads C63 coupe, the continental tyres pick up loads of chippings once they've got up to temperature. Also, AMG cars are so wicked !!

UK plate game is weak in AUS we have single digit number plates that go for up to 3 mil
BUCK where is this?
Places like Dubai have the single digit plates that sold for millions. More money than sense.

It's impossible to buy single digit plates in the UK
Leggo My Ego shame they don't take any immigrants with all that money they have. Especially surprising when it's suppose to be where mecca is.. the Muslim holy land

The F1 display was incredible ! Thanks for showing it . It also must be nice to be able to burn ridiculous amounts of money on plates .
I actually will pay 500k pounds for a 666 plate number
1. What a waste of money that'll be
2. You need Jesus he'll save you some money
666 plate is invalid format. You would have to have X666 XXX (X Being Variable)
For sale 666NYC
666 or 444 (death in chinese)
