Emirati businessman Ahmed Al Mazroui won the bid to own the exclusive Abu Dhabi number 2 plate, for a whopping Dh10 million.
"I am very excited and proud to get number 2," he told reporters after the auction of distinguished number plates, on Saturday evening at Emirates Palace. He grabbed the number plate because of it's significance to the nation. "It's the number that signifies the UAE union's creation on December 2," said Al Mazroui. "I'm proud of my country and I want that money to go to charity. This is a Year of Giving and the police will use the money from the sale of number plates to support the poor and needy people."
The Emirati beat several bidders for the coveted plate, which started at Dh5 million. The auction was held by the Abu Dhabi Police and Emirates Auction.
Sixty new distinguished vehicle number plates (Category 1), were up for grabs on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Abu Dhabi Police's founding.
In total, more than Dh55 million was collected as proceeds from the auction.
