Romantics battled to get their hands on prized number plates at a Hong Kong auction on Saturday, with 'I L1KE U' fetching HK$130,000 (US$16,600) and others paying top dollar for ones linked to 'love'.

One motorist with a wry sense of humour picked up '2 P00R' for a modest HK$24,000, beating out two other bidders. 'WEALTHY', ironically, sold for just HK$22,000. Bids for 'I L1KE U' started at HK$5,000 and shot up rapidly as several hopefuls exchanged fire in HK$1,000 increments, before offers began to rise by HK$2,000 and then HK$5,000 at a time. The plate, which sold for HK$130,000, was one of the 120 auctioned by the Transport Department in the afternoon.
