Shannons will host an auction dedicated to some of the rarest rego plates in Victoria.
The auction will be held in conjunction with Motorclassica at the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton, including combinations rarely seen changing hands.
Thirty plates will be on offer, with digits like ‘911’ expected to command nearly $500,000 by someone with the most diehard penchant for Porsches.
Famous actor and late Porsche-racer James Dean bared the number ‘130’ on the track, which is also a rego plate combination up for auction.
It is expected to draw attention – and over a quarter-of-a-million dollars – from the Porsche purists.
Ultra-low numerical plates like ‘104’, ‘105’ and ‘106’ are expected to reach nearly $300,000 with no reserve.
Shannons national auction maanger Christophe Boribon says the registration plate auction is a returning favourite for car enthusiasts.
“This is the first time in many years the opportunity to buy a running sequence of early-issue black and white plates has come on the market and it is exceptionally special,” he says.
The auction begins on Saturday October 13 at 7pm, with Motorclassica running from Friday October 12-14.
