The Victorian heritage number plate 16 is reportedly owned by Tom Warwick of Warwick fabrics, and has adorned several of his Ferraris.
Warwick seems to have moved on from Ferraris however, with the plate now residing on a Rolls Royce Ghost as pictured below.
The Warwick family are also said to own Vic 4 and 6 along with a number of other Victorian heritage number plates.
The 16 plate is reported to have sold at auction in 1998. The actual price is not known, but it is reported that plates 14, 15 and 16 all sold on the day for an average of $75,000.
