Why ? 

Private plates similar to this combination (R8 LRM, for example) seem to have asking prices in the range of £800-1000. Wouldn't this have a similar value then, or doesn't it work that way?

No, 'private plates' are nothing of the sort, its just the VRM from a pre-registered car (as you know), the value is if the letters mean anything to anyone, then there is a value, the plate on the Audi is in reality worth a couple of hundred quid, there's lots of silly money asked for worthless shite where the previous owners has paid hundreds or thousands to get the 'dream' plate and then found that its worthless to anyone else, I've just bought one from here as it was Y4 CSU becuase the last 3 letters are the initials of my missus (i.e Caroline Sarah Underwood for example) the R8 plate you mention would look good (in some peoples opinion) on an Audi R8, just like M3, M4 etc would be good on a BMW.

Also, you never actually own the VRM, it belongs to the DVLA and can in theory be removed at any time.

As an aside, anyone with a BO55 XXX plate is a cunt.

Indeed, I paid £180 inc. fees for a plate that means the world to me, but nothing to anyone else. I'll never sell it, so it doesn't matter.

It's only worth anything if someone wants it. Unless its really special.

Someone with an R8 and LRG initials might be stupid enough to pay £1000 for it.

I had a Taurus of that generation with the same engine.  It was a surprisingly competent car.  Plus it had a superb red velour interior.

My dad had an SHO of that shape when he lived in US of Stateside. He was a bit of a car guy but not massively nerdy like us. Anyway he came home in it and announced it had "twenty-four valves" which was misheard by some of the family to be "twenty-four voles" and the name stuck. 

I drove it a few times, it was a nice way to learn how to drive manual on LHD.

There's a young fella named Jude who might be interested in that. Would be epic collection thread.....

How do we persuade / force him to buy it?

Google tells me that's about £3500. That's remarkable value for money I would think. 

I think so too. So it will be exciting how long it takes before it is sold.
