Britain's Rudest Number Plate Is Back On Sale For £150,000
One of Britain's cheekiest registration plates is once again up for sale - and could fetch a price of £150,000.
The Sun reports that the plate once belonged to a moped, however it was last seen on an orange BMW M4.
Now that it's back on the market, car enthusiasts are pretty excited, with one keen registration plate observer telling the paper: "It’s obviously going to get people excited.
“You’ve got to be careful what kind of motor you put that on.”

The plate's history dates back to 1995 at a price of £50,000 before later being sold to a meat importer from Sevenoaks, Kent, in 2002.
Unfortunately for him, his wife didn't find herself aroused by the purchase and reportedly refused to travel in the car while it was licensed under it.
So, for those with plenty of money and a dirty mind, the vehicle registration plate ORG 45M is available to buy - and yes, that does read out loud as 'orgasm'.
The number plate is for sale on the website regtransfers.co.uk. A spokesperson for the site, Angela Bahn, said it was getting a lot of views.
“It is certainly attracting a lot of interest It is expensive but unique" she said.
Of course, this is far from the only naughty registration plate that's popped up on the site, with Bahn adding: “We had PEN 15 which caused quite a stir."
Speculating on who might be interested in purchasing the £150k license, she suggested: "ORG 45M might suit someone in the sex toy business.
“But if someone is an attention seeker there aren’t many better ways to attract attention.”
The price tag of £150,000 may seem like an awful lot for an 'ORG 45M'. However, if you still want something similarly rude but a little more affordable, it appears you can also buy 'ORG I85' - yes, that's 'orgies' out loud - for a mere £2,445.
Unbelievably, 'ORG 45M' will be far from the most expensive license plate purchased in the UK if it does end up getting snapped up.
That accolade goes to the plate '25 O', which is attached to a Ferrari of the same number. The price paid for it was a cool £500,000.
All of that pales into insignificance though when you look to the Middle East, with a Saudi reported to have £10 million for the registration plate '1' - a world record.
It's surprising that 'ORG 45M' isn't one more the 340 plus plates to have been banned by the authorities this year.
The DVLA annually publish a list of banned plates, with many of those that made the blacklist relating to explicit or crude words, while others have been banned due to political, racial or religious reasons.
This year's list also bans a number of coronavirus-related plates, including CO22 RNA, CO22 ONA and CO22 VD, while other plates which you won't find on the street include F22 KER, BA22 TRD, A22 HLE, TU22 URD and DR22 NK.
