The plate is going under the hammer next month.
It will be star attraction at the sale staged at Fieldings Auctioneers' Stourbridge headquarters on July 4.
Director Nick Davies said: "It took some time to realise the significance to One Direction fans.
"The plate – complete with the retention document – has been in private hands for several years. The vendor, who no longer drives, hopes that it will appeal to a younger generation of One Direction fans."
For many years the plate adorned a Ford Zephyr, a model that ceased production in 1972.
