NSW '987' on a Renault Megane.

Event:  2014 Shannons Sydney Winter Classic Auction

Date:  25 August 2014

Location:  65 Reserve Road, St Leonards, NSW

Six NSW heritage plates and three motorcycle heritage plates were offered at the auction

The highest priced plate was 321 which sold for an impressive $102,000.

Interestingly the lowest number on offer – 292 – attracted the equal lowest price of $78,000.  Most of the other 3-digit plates, including the very high 987, were sequential combinations, so it would certainly seem that buyers were prepared to pay a significant premium for sequential combinations rather than low numbers.
