Dubai, United Arab Emirates Apr 10, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Emirates Auction has set a new world record for selling the world's most expensive number plate at the "Most Noble Numbers" charity auction for special vehicle plates.
Plate number P7 was sold for a whopping $15 million, making it the most expensive number plate in the world. The number was sold at the Most Noble Number charity auction, which was held on Saturday, April 8, 2023 at the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach.
