Man United ace gets his CR 7 treasured car registrations number plates

Saturday, 23 August 2008

Man Utd’s Ronaldo wants the CR7 personalised car registrations number plates.

A number plate which has the brand name CR7 is the object of desire for the Man Utd footballer Christiano Ronaldo. The number plate bares the same digits as the player’s initials, shirt, store and future night club in Funchal, Portugal.

However being a cherished number plate it is already sitting comfortably on a Bentley Continental which is owned by property millionaire Charlie Robinson of Troon, Ayrshire in Scotland. Ronaldo may be obsessed by the number plate CR7, but Robinson also has an appetite for number plates too, as he already owns the sister number plate CR8 which is on a Ferrari F430.

Robinson has said that the only way that he will let the CR7 number plate go is if a replacement is given, he wants the CR1 number plate which is estimated to be worth £175,000 for the Bentley, making the number plate worth more than the car itself.

Robinson, of Troon, Ayrshire, said: "That registration plate is close to my heart and I won't be letting it go easily.

"I bought it three or four years ago and I've had a few inquiries about it since then.

"I haven't spoken to Ronaldo personally but there has been some interest."

"It's a part of the car now. I certainly wouldn't be pressured into selling it.

"The only way I'd be convinced to part with it would be in a swap deal for CR 1 - that way everybody would be happy."

Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes, although he did refuse to comment directly about the matter, said: "He's determined to get it.

"He's obsessed with the CR 7 branding and wants it on everything he has.

"Everybody has their price and when you earn the money Ronaldo does, you can buy pretty much anything you like."

Ronaldo is believed to earn around £120,000 per week as a footballer for Man Utd, so maybe £175,000 is not a great deal for him.
