Surely this number must be worth more than £150? considering ALL the Money goes to the Macmillan Cancer Support.

Thank you, Thank you!.. :thumbsu:

Just wondering if there are any closed bids sent via PM to Tim? if so have they reached the reserved price? I have a feeling it can not be far away... ;)

Thought I might give this a 'Bump', as the 6th September is coming up fast, would be great to see a Member of the Register purchase this very special number P6MGF, rather than it being sold on 'Ebay', remember ALL proceeds go to the Macmillan Cancer Support, it's such a great helping charity.

Thank you for the info, all I am trying to do is raise more awareness and interest in raising more funds for such a wonderful charity, and truly it would be great if a member were to purchase via this forum. :thumbsu:

We're approaching the end of the auction and we really could do with some more bids - currently £300 is the highest but the plate is worth more than that so please make your bid - all proceeds will be going towards MacMillans Cancer Support.

Auction will finish on 9th September..............

Thanks David

Now do we have any advance on £400 for this famous and well known number plate - why is it famous and well known you may ask - well thanks to a photo shoot a couple of years ago it keeps popping up in magazines......in fact it is featured in a three page spread in the current edition of "Classic Motoring".... to put this number on your own MGF/TF you'll need to put in a higher bid though...........all for MacMillans as well !
