1972: NUMBER PLATES - How Much is YOURS Worth? | Nationwide | Retro Transport | BBC Archive

"It's not the car you'd be paying for at all - in fact, you get that thrown in free - what costs you your £3,000 is the number plate."

Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, Tuesday 8 August, 1972.
