Some of the most sought-after number plates will be up for grabs at the auction, including the number '1', and it's expected that this number might fetch a record-breaking price. Already, people are expecting to fetch higher than what the number '5' had fetched earlier - Dh25.2 million!

Preparations for the auction are under way, Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rahman Al Kamali, director of Administration of Privatisation and Financial Investments at the Abu Dhabi Police, said.

He said the Sixth Auction is very important, and all concerned bodies will make sure to make it a unique international event. It will be covered by various TV channels and news agencies worldwide.
