A quirky personalised number plate spelling out Slough is on the market for a five-figure sum.

The number plate, which reads S10 UGH is currently on sale at £29,996.00 - with 25 per cent knocked off the original figure of £39,995.00.

First created on August 1, 1998 the number plate has not been on a car since 2001.

Personalised number plates were first introduced in 1989 by the DVLA.

Nowadays people can buy one for upwards of £200, with some even selling for half a million.

RegTransfers.co.uk, who are selling the Slough number plate, say it is quite common for location name plates to hit the market and the five-figure sum is not unusual.

However, it is disputed whether you would want a location name on your car, with others opting for names, dates and favourite sports teams to adorn their cars instead.
