Eye-catching and sometimes bewildering car plates are a common sight in Hong Kong.
HONG KONG (Bloomberg): A personalised licence plate sold for HK$25.5 million (US$3.2 million) at an auction in Hong Kong on Sunday (Feb 12), the second-highest bid on record for a city where eye-catching and sometimes bewildering car plates are a common sight.
Sunday’s bid was for a licence plate with the letter "R” and came at a Lunar New Year auction organised by the Hong Kong Transport Department. It was just short of a record HK$26 million bid for the letter "W” in 2021, according to rankings published by the Secretary for Transport Lam Sai-hung.
