its an investment as he says. he can sell it in a couple of years or more for a million pounds.

crazy or not. he has the F1 plate on an SLR in London. true baller.

I remember seeing a pic of a Mclaren F1 with an F1 plate in the UK. Its not possible to have 2 plates with the same number but registered in different counties in the UK?
