Take a look at the DVLA site for similar plates for the value, probably about the same as the M6!

I'd give you a few quid for it and it means nothing to me
I reckon it's probably worth about £2k if you can get the right buyer else it's £300.

SBT 1 got to be worth big money as it is a historic early plate as well as someones initials with a number 1.
I recon £10,000 at auction

SBT 1 could be worth a huge amount if you get the right buyers - deffo give the dealers a call - just google for private reg could be way more than £10 IMHO

Cheers

4 SBT is going for £8k on regtransfers.co.uk - methinks your friend has a fair few pennies in his mits...

I just found a 'valuation serive' and they reckon its worth £10k so good starting point.

They only paid £100 for it many many years ago thinkg it was one of the first personalised plate and it spells stans initials unfortuatly he passed away a few years ago but his wife kept it because they are also her initials. Luckily I went around to see my nan today and its her friend and she mentioned a dealer had only offered her £300 for her car which set alarms off in my head initally because its an 01 saxo (auto) with no miles on it so worth well over a grand and thought the plate must also be worth a few k Ill speak to some dealers on monday

Acording to DVLA, its on a black BMW M6 5.0 convertible - she must have already sold it

it may be the other way around 1STB

1 STB is an Auto Saxo.


Pdlewis - 28/3/08 at 08:44 PM

Anything with 1 and three intials is worth ££££££'s Dealer is being very sneaky

Sneaky is an understatement.

Going rate would be £10k + (Not that I would pay this but people do)

Get your who's who out of the library and look up people with the relevant initials.
