Hide AdAuctioneer Jonathan Humbert said: "The market in private and cherished number plates is very much on the up and we have high hopes for this quintessentially British number plate.
"It has both a United Kingdom attribution and a very low single number and such an early and historic plate too."
On the day, the firm is also offering "1RAN" for an estimated £40,000.
Humbert & Ellis recently sold the license plate "TAX1" for £92,000.
