Who could possibly put 4 HRH on their car?

The Queen?

The official limousines in which she travels famously have no number plates. However, she could give the number plate to Prince Harry or as a gift to a fellow monarch.

A mock-up of how a Royal carriage would look with the personalised numberplate 4 HRH. The regal-sounding number plate is one of the star attractions of Afzal Kahn’s prestigious registration numbers which includes the most expensive number plate in the UK: F1.

The tradition of registration numbers being adopted as status symbols by the famous and wealthy dates back to 1903, when numberplates were introduced in Britain.

The first issued in London was A1, registered to the 2nd Earl Russell, who was so keen to acquire it that he camped out for the entire night before its release.

He sold it four years later, but should perhaps have hung on to it. A1 is now worth more than £1 million and is rumoured to be owned by the brother of the Sultan of Brunei.

The sporting world has not lagged behind when it comes to vehicular one-upmanship, with Wayne Rooney buying the number plate WAZ 8 for his Aston Martin.

MAG 1C (Paul Daniels) and H41R DO (hairdresser Nicky Clarke) are more blatant advertisements for their owners' talents.

As for David Beckham, he has already acquired DB 7, but perhaps Victoria will persuade him that 4 HRH is the only registration suitable for Britain's 'second royal family'.

Whoever the eventual winner is, the prospect of buying 4 HRH should get bidders going like nodding dogs on a parcel shelf. That, at least, is the prediction of Damian Lawson, marketing manager for the personalised registrations department of the DVLA.

'Last year, the registration 4 HRH went for more than £400,000 at a private auction, so who knows what we'll get for this,' he says.

No Damian – that is incorrect!

The number 4 HRH has been here with Afzal Kahn for quite some time!

Sir Alan Sugar, the son of a Hackney tailor, probably best known for fronting the reality show "The Apprentice". His personal number plate, AMS 1, can be seen on his Rolls-Royce in the programme’s opening sequence.

Would he be suitable for the 4 HRH number plate?

He may wish to pass it on to his wife or the winner of the next show…

The smart money though, may go on an Arab Sheikh. The recession proof United Arab Emirates have plenty of discerning Sheikhs who have purchased top of the range Project Kahn vehicles so watch this space…

These aficionados of 'cherished numbers' –  a British euphemism for what the Americans call 'vanity plates'  -  will be selling for many years to come..

In January 2008, Afzal Kahn’s purchase of F 1 briefly focused the UK public’s attention on private vehicle registrations. £400,625 was a new record for the highest price paid for a British car registration.

A decade ago, private number plates were perceived as something owned and displayed by showbiz types. Beyond that, few people ever noticed or thought about them. Interest has spread, however, in recent years, and the increasing fashion for personalisation in all aspects of our lives has driven spectacular growth in the demand for private car numbers.

The range of terms used to refer to the product is wide. In the USA they are called vanity plates, while in the UK they are personal number plates, cherished registrations, personalised registrations and more. These days, those synonyms using the word “personal”, are becoming inadequate to describe the broad appeal of private registrations. In fact, the preferred Emirati term, distinguished number plates, is possibly one of the most appropriate descriptions, and so it is the one we will use henceforth.

There is a growing market for distinguished number plates in business. The applications are diverse, with some businesses using such numbers as branding and marketing tools on corporate vehicles. One well-known London plumbing company has purchased dozens of registrations whose characters seem to spell out plumbing and water related words. The media have noticed this, and the company has enjoyed considerable publicity as a result.

The purchase of F 1 raised the profiles of both Afzal Kahn personally and Project Kahn as a business. The quality of the registration, and the spectacular price paid for it, caught the attention of the media and the public. The fact that the proceeds of the sale were used to fund driver training, and thus to improve road safety, was another positive aspect to the story.

These days, a distinguished car registration is not simply the badge of a showbiz ego. An increasing number of very prominent business people appreciate the investment potential of a good number, and the branding and PR possibilities of an eye-catching plate.

Sir Alan Sugar’s AMS 1 registration has been clearly visible in the opening sequence of The Apprentice, and Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Theo Paphitis is known for his effective use of RYM 4N and LA53 NZA as branding tools for Ryman and La Senza, the two high street names with whom he is perhaps most famously associated.

It is, therefore, not surprising that many Project Kahn clients prefer to see distinguished registrations adorning their very personal bespoke vehicles, rather than meaningless groups of numbers and letters. A well chosen distinguished number plate can be the perfect finishing touch on a truly unique vehicle.
