‘AU 1’ for Sale
Primo Registrations, a top-tier dealer in cherished number plates, unveils the availability of the iconic 'AU 1' number plate, famously linked to the James Bond classic 'Goldfinger'. This personalised plate is now on the market, catering to entertainment enthusiasts and savvy investors who recognise the burgeoning trend of number plates as lucrative assets, offering a chance to own a slice of automotive history.
Expected to fetch over £300,000 through Primo Registrations, the 'AU 1' registration, featuring the gold chemical symbol (AU), once adorned the vintage Rolls-Royce of the infamous villain Auric Goldfinger in the 1964 film, solidifying its status as a cinematic icon. Beyond its association with the timeless appeal of James Bond movies, this registration plate reflects the cultural resonance of the film franchise, blending classic 007 allure with contemporary aesthetic sensibilities. Moreover, it presents a distinctive investment opportunity, coinciding with the release of the Amazon Prime series '007: Road to a Million', underscoring the enduring relevance of the iconic spy in today's society.
Primo Registrations' managing director Peter Johnson expressed excitement about the 'AU 1' registration, remarking, "This plate is among the most iconic, notably for its association with Goldfinger's infamous car used for smuggling gold! Short number plates are gaining popularity not just for their visual appeal but also for their investment potential. The previous sale of 'AU 1' yielded significant returns, and we anticipate this trend to persist, especially with shorter plates. It's exciting to anticipate where this plate will end up – perhaps on another Rolls-Royce!"

Comparable two-letter, number-one plates command prices ranging from £100,000 to £500,000, making 'AU 1' a compelling opportunity for collectors seeking to acquire a piece of cultural significance.
