KLZ 1 plate sells for record SAR 15.7m in Riyadh

A number plate bearing the characters “KLZ 1” has become the most expensive in the history of the Riyadh Car Show, fetching a record SAR 15.7 million in a high-stakes auction that drew intense bidding.

The plate was initially sold for SAR 13.4 million. With taxes and administrative fees, SAR 2 million in VAT and SAR 335,000 in commission, the total transaction reached SAR 15.7 million, setting a new benchmark for premium vehicle plate sales in the Kingdom.

The new owner, already known for possessing a distinctive plate reading “N W R 7” on a Lexus used during his wedding celebrations, has now secured one of the most exclusive identifiers in the country’s luxury car culture.

The auction, part of the 2025 Riyadh Car Show, has attracted collectors and enthusiasts from across the region.
