The earliest known celebrity cherished number plate was T 8, owned by Harry Tate (1873-1940), a Music Hall Artist. It is now thought to be owned by Johnny Tate of the sugar company Tate & Lyle. Her Majesty The Queen owns A 7, whilst Princess Ann used to hold 1 ANN on her car, but had to take it off for obvious security reasons. The Queen Mother once owned NLT 2 and with HRH Prince Philip having OXR 1. MS 1 is eportedly the most expensive number plate on today's market, priced at a cool £250,000, it was first owned by Henry Adolf Salvesen, who acquired it on 28 December 1903.
