Its founder, Afzal Khan, has made the news lately for turning down a £6 million (S$11.9 million) offer on his rare and bespoke 'F1' number plate.
The highly sought after number plate was originally registered in the U.K. 109 years ago and was registered to a Volvo S80 when Kahn bought the plate in 2008 for £440,000 (S$876,428). The price paid still holds as the highest ever for a licence plate sold by a dealer.
Had he not turned down the offer from the unnamed buyer, Kahn could have bought a fleet of six Bugatti Veyrons, 75 Range Rovers or 600 Ford Fiestas in the U.K. Kahn rejected the offer believing the 'F1' is worth more than the offered price. The 'F1' number plate is part of his unique collection, which includes '4HRH' and 'NO1'.
