so to get a good plate you have to be creative or VERY VERY rich!!! I could have bought JW 1 for $15,000 20 years ago, ( did'nt have the money) last time it was sold a few years ago i think it fetched $600,000

MB 1 is owned by Max Bygraves (an old time english entertainer) MERCEDES BENZ offered him $2,000,000 for it 15 years ago and he refused!!!
