But it remains the most talked about since it is the world's most expensive number plate on a yellow board with black letters.
While for some of us, Rs 132 crore/$2,03,28,000 for a license plate may not seem a worthy deal but the fact that D5 number plate sold in Dubai for Rs 67 crore/$1,03,18,000 should stir us back to our senses. The wait now is to see who the ultra-rich person ready to flaunt his/her wealth to own this cherished F1.
