I hope the auctioneers understand that those register plates are probably worth more than their cars....

I could deal with the Bentley convertible. Would probably have to redo the interior to get a classier color combo.

Does there need to be a reason LOL. When the State needs money they'll usually first go after the lowest hanging fruit.

Extract from Net; ""The UK's most expensive car number plates 1. '25 O': £518,000 The priciest ever sold by the DVLA, bought by Ferrari dealer John Collins in 2014. The plate is now thought to take pride of place on a Ferrari 250SWB once owned by Eric Clapton, worth around £10million. 2. 'F 1': £440,000 The previous record holder, the initials of Formula 1 were bought by Bradford businessman Afzal Khan in 2008. The digits were then assigned to his McLaren-Mercedes SLR. 3. 'S 1': £404,000 Claimed to be Scotland's first ever number plate, it was bought back in 2008 by an anonymous bidder who claimed the digits would be fixed to an old Skoda! 4. '1 D': £352,000 Despite the obvious reference to the pop group sensation One Direction, this plate was bought a year before their formation in Warwickshire by Lebanese businessman Nabil Bishara. 5. 'M 1': £331,000 Bought in 2006 by mobile phone businessman Mike McCoomb who claimed it was for his 10 year-old son! 6. 'VIP 1': £285,000 Owned by billionaire Chelsea FC boss Roman Abramovich, it was once placed on the Popemobile for His Holiness' visit to Ireland. 7. '51 NGH': £254,000 A popular name in the Sikh community, 'Singh' was sold in the UK in 2006. 8. '1 RH': £247,000 This plate sold in 2006 for 30 times its estimate to determined businessman Robert Harverson. 9. 'K1 NGS': £231,000 A royal plate believed to have been bought by an an Arab Sultan in 1993. 10. '1 O': £170,000 Just a binary number and the letter 'O', this minimalist plate was purchased in Northamptonshire in 2009.""

Ultimate garage sale: Luxury cars seized from London-based sheikh up for auction
According to a Daily Mail article on the same topic, the sheik lost a "financial dispute" in court. Not that the government wanted to confiscate the cars.
Interesting car that wasn't in the IBT story was a Renault Twizy that he apparently drove around London. (Stock Pic) Wonder what that plate would fetch?
