Yet another personalised number plate auction is taking place today in Abu Dhabi. Among the number plates on offer are the numbers 6 and 430. The number plate 430 should be of special interest to those Ferrari F430 owners who no doubt will be at the auction.
The auctions are all for a good cause too, in fact to date they have raised nearly fifty million pounds for charities, which include an emergency and trauma car centre for victims of road accidents.
Lieutenant General Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Interior, said, "It is all for a good cause and people love to give to local charities, the director said. To date, more than $100 million (Dh367m) has been raised from the sale of 583 plates in seven auctions, with proceeds going towards building a world-class emergency and trauma care centre for victims of road accidents and other debilitating conditions"
Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rahman Al Kamali, Director of the Privatisation and Investment Department at Abu Dhabi Police, said, "Number six is the fourth single-digit number to go under the hammer by Abu Dhabi Police, and number 430 is a luxury plate, perfect for the front of a Ferrari F430"
"We expect more than Dh10 million for number 6 because number 7 sold for Dh 11 million"
This is a great way of raising funds for local charities, which actually benefit many people and not just the few. Other number plates that will be sold are 36, 57, 86, 696 and 1991, this series of auctions has been entered into the Guinness Book of Records for selling the top seven most expensive number plates.
