Afzal Khan, 37 years old Pakistani owns not only most expensive car in U.K but most expensive number plate "F1" also.

*His Car*:

The worlds most expensive Bugatti Veyron is destined to be one of the highlights of MPH prestige and performance auto show in the UK. Capable of catapulting the driver to 100mph in 5.5 seconds this particular 1,010 BHP Bugatti Veyron has no close modern rivals in terms of price tags.

*His number plate*:

"F1" is world's 3rd most expensive number plate. A record price has been set for a British vehicle registration number after a businessman paid £440,625 to buy the Formula One initials F1.
Afzal Khan smashed the previous record of £331,000, paid 18 months ago for M1, to purchase the historic F1 number plate from Essex County Council.
The Bradford entrepreneur, who owns a specialist car design company, plans to display the number plate on his £317,000 Mercedes SLR McLaren supercar.

AND plus the fact that he pays over £1 (6QR) per litre of petrol, plus mega road tax, I think his driving alone will be supporting a few people less fortunate (or lazier) than him.

You are right James (or the other way around), good luck to the guy, it's his money to do with as he wishes and as he is based in the UK the Government will already have taken 40% of his money in taxes.

I would think that people would like to take care of the environment a little more with something like this:

Koenigsegg CCXR - THE FIRST GREEN SUPERCAR

The CCXR will take you to an entirely new level of performance. It is a derivative of the CCX, with a highly modified engine that can run on E85 and E100 Biofuel as well as normal 98 octane petrol (Europe). When run on regular petrol, the 4.7 litre twin-supercharged Koenigsegg engine delivers 806 Bhp, but this figure rises to an astonishing 1018 Bhp when the car is run on E85 Biofuel. The CCXR is the first green supercar in the world and thereby sets a great example for others to follow. Since the ethanol in E85 fuel has a much higher octane rating and internal cooling capacity, the engine can run with higher compression, boost pressure and more spark advance compared to the normal petrol-fuelled CCX, whilst still maintaining the same exhaust temperature. Performance

Acceleration

0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) 3.1 seconds

0-200 km/h 8.9 sec

0-200-0 km/h 13.7 sec

Top Speed: 400+ km/h (250+ mph) (estimated)

Braking distance: 32m (100-0 km/h)

Lateral G-force: 1.4 G

That was my point ..

I think the guy bought it as an investment, rather than for his personal ego ..

Britexpat, i think special thing about this number plate is that it is 105years old and refers to Formula 1

It makes no sense. His name is Afzal Khan and he runs the F1 plate on a Mercedes McLaren..

I can understand A1, AK1, K1 or even M1, but F1 ?????
