About This Abu Dhabi 1 488 Plate
Numeric code 1 sits at the heritage end of Abu Dhabi's registration system. Buyers seeking plates with genuine historical depth consistently target these early low codes. A 3-digit number here is valued between AED 30,000 and AED 200,000.
The Abu Dhabi plate market is more conservative in temperament than Dubai's but no less serious. Capital emirate status attracts institutional demand from government-connected buyers, and the TAMM registration infrastructure ensures process integrity.
3-digit plates are rare enough that many active buyers go months without seeing the right one come to market in Abu Dhabi. When they do appear, competition tends to be swift.
This plate has been listed on LicensePlate.ae since September 27, 2025. The seller has chosen to list this plate as Price on Request, which typically indicates either an exceptionally rare plate where the seller is gauging market interest, or a preference for direct negotiation with serious buyers.
To complete the purchase of this plate, both parties attend TAMM (the Abu Dhabi government services platform) with Emirates IDs. The transfer process is typically completed within a single visit. Buyers from other emirates can open a Abu Dhabi traffic file to hold the plate without immediately transferring their vehicle registration. TAMM transactions can be initiated online, reducing in-person visit time significantly.
