What’s cooler than being cool? Ice cold! What’s cooler than driving one of Ferrari’s greatest classic sportscar? Fitting it with a Camaro SS money license plate, of course. Sure, it might look like a crazy amount of cash to pay for a simple piece of metal that your car has to carry around to be legal, but that’s because you’re just a regular Prius driver who’ll never think like one of the well-heeled people.
And get this, it didn’t even manage to break the previous record since last November a Ferrari dealer bought a “24 O” plate for $804,042 (£518,000). Yep, we’re talking about an almost million dollar license plate. Reports are that the “250 C” registration was expected to appeal to owners of Ferrari’s 250 GT California Spyder and was supposed to sell for more than £500,000.
But no, the filthy rich missed this rare occasion to spend ridiculous money in a proper opulent way some would call WASTE OF MONEY. Not us of course, we totally understand the need of some to spend these sums so they can make their classic breeds look even better on the street.
Getting back to the 250 C license plate it seems the buyer remains unknown, as his bid was made by phone by a mystery car enthusiast who nonetheless is believed to be a Ferrari driver.
The rare registration was being offered at the Drive and Vehicle Licensing Authority auction in Nottingham the other day. A total of 1,600 license numbers are being sold over three days and are expected to make between £3 million ($4.66 million) and £3.5 million ($5.43 million) for the Treasury.
Call it madness or annoying abundance, but this truly is a clever way for the Government to make some extra cash after all.
