That's it. "1".
The successful bidder said he bought it because he "wants to be the best in the world". Saeed Khouri, a member of a wealthy Abu Dhabi family, added: "I bought it because it's the best number." However, he would not say which of his many cars would carry the record-breaking single-digit plate. The oil-rich UAE began auctioning off so-called vanity licence plates last May.

On Saturday, 90 licence plates were auctioned off, raising a total of £12m.
The previous five such events raised more than £25m. It was auctioned for charity in the United Arab Emirates, beating the previous record of £3.5m for a plate featuring the number 5.
