The UK is well known for its vanity plates, which can sometimes cost more than the exotic or luxury car they are mounted. We are here to talk about a pretty cool new plate, one the targets the McLaren 650S.
The personalized registration spells "MCL 650S" and is being offered as part of next week’s three-day auction. The plate has a GBP400 (EUR 485 or US$ 672 at the current exchange rates) reserve and if you’re expecting the competition to be a little bit too sharp, you have some 1,500 plates to choose from.
Apparently, MCL 650S isn’t even the star of the show. That title goes to the “23 O” plate, whose reserve is ten times larger than that of the aforementioned supercar-themed plate.
“After hearing McLaren were planning to unveil its latest supercar the 650S, we inevitably conducted our own investigations to see if we had a suitable personalized registration available,” Jody Davies, DVLA Personalised Registrations’ Events Manager, said.
“Amazingly, MCL 650S – the MCL is a well used acronym for McLaren – was available so we arranged for it to be included in the first available auction,” Davies added.
We’d like to remind you the 650S was initially set to be offered alongside the 12C. Nonetheless, the bouquet of orders determined the British company to retire the 12C, focusing entirely on the 650S.
