“We look forward to a strong bid from Harry Styles at any point.”
A rare car registration plate being sold to help plug East Renfrewshire’s budget gap has already piqued the interest of an England rugby player.It is hoped the HS 0 plate — inherited from the former Eastwood District Council — could be sold for a six-figure sum.
Announcing the plans last week, the council suggested celebrities with the initials, such as singer Harry Styles or TV presenter Helen Skelton, might want to buy the plate. An official said: “It has not been in use since the lease on the council’s car expired last year and has now been identified as a potential way for the council to generate a capital receipt in the face of a challenging financial landscape.It will be sold at auction with a “suitable reserve to protect the council’s interests”. The official said HS was “the prefix used for Renfrewshire” and ‘0’ would “have been the first one in a series perhaps”.
