why would you...
...pay to have a 4 digit number plate here?? i had no idea anyone paid for a plate apart from the single/double digit ones...but someone i know just got one. i can't see the point, it's not like the number means anything...
mind you, i have a pet hate for private number plates at home...especially the ones where they can't afford to get a proper one, so they get one which looks like the word if you read carefully...you know what i mean, like M1 5TY (for misty) etc etc...
that said, if someone was prepared to stump up the £260,000 for CAT1 then i might think about putting it on my car, lol...

Or they just have a shit load of money and have bought it. A business man was in the paper recently after having bought the number '2' for a stupid amount of money!

Re: why would you...
I don't really know. I would presume that they get handed down from generation to generation or they hear about them going up for auction and buy them.
Someone else might be able to enlighten us more.......
