| The most expensive car licence plates sold in Hong Kong since 1973 - the definitive and most accurate list available |
Read on, car licence or car vanity plates in Hong Kong is a passion of mine and has been since 2011 and one of the most interesting projects I have ever done is compiling a list of the most expensive licence plates sold in Hong Kong since 1973.
The criteria for joining the list is the licence plate had to have sold for HK$1 Million + or US$128,205 +
JL - Car Licence | Vanity Plate sold for HK$1,100,000 or US$141,025 - it is number 86 of the 109 cars with a HK$1 Million + | US$128,205 + Licence Plates in Hong Kong and it just so happens these are my initials and no, I do not own a car!
All information regarding auction prices of licence plates | vanity plates were requestitioned from the Transport Department of the Hong Kong Government who hold monthly auctions. Please assume that this comprehensive information is 100% accurate
Auctions are generally held weekly and naturally all my records are completely up to date
As of April 9th 2024,4,007 licence plates have sold for over HK$100,000 or US$12,820 but only 109 licence plates have sold for HK$1 Million + or US$128,205 +

Personalised Licence Plates or Vanity Plates have been sold at auction in Hong Kong since 2006 | I have been able to obtain 30 years of Auction data (over 5,400 pages | 145,000+ entries) | covering the time period 1990 - 2024 | apparently there is no computerised data available to the public prior to 1990
My contact in the Transport Department was very helpful and he checked the paper records from 1973 - 1990 for details of all licence plates that sold for HK$100,00 + or US$12,820 and sent them to me
It is understood that the Licence Plate No. 8 is the holy grail in Hong Kong... it sold in 1988 for a comparatively low price of HK$5,000,000 or US$641,025 of it ever came on to the market again it would sell for between US$5 - 10 Million
