So the story goes that in the 2000s Oliver Curtis’ future wife, PR queen Roxy Jacenko , bought two “heritage” NSW number plates for $80,000. One was “1903″ and the other “1908” because she (correctly) assessed their scarcity would make them a canny investment.
In her words, heritage plates were a “finite asset class”. She and Curtis now live in Singapore so last month they went under the hammer. The “1903” plate reportedly sold for $144,000.
