Toyota Land Cruiser GX
Six hundred range.
Not the most expensive car on the road, but still fairly pricey and it looked brand new.

It's All Vanity
Vanity license plates are a significant thing for car owners in Qatar. Apparently, high premiums are paid for the privilege of sporting these unique plates, or at the very least, high-ranking connections (wasta) are used to secure them.
Unlike in some countries, custom vanity plates are not available. So motoring show-offs have to make do with unique number combinations, like a lot of repeating digits (maybe '77777').
Another favorite is having a plate with a low number of digits. Instead of a car registered as '987654', it's much cooler to have '123' on your bumper.
Who are these people, who feel the need to display their wealth on a license plate? More importantly, what kind of cars do they drive?
Here is the Qatar One Thousand; the cars wearing three-digit plates in the country of Qatar.
