A vehicle number plate was sold for a whopping Dh5 million at a fiercely fought auction in Sharjah. SHJ-7 fetched the amount at the auction of special number plates held at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre on Saturday night.
Among the double-digit numbers on offer on the night, SHJ-20 fetched Dh1.9 million, while SHJ-14 went for Dh1.8 million. SHJ-55 was sold for Dh1.5 million, while SHJ-69 went for Dh1.25 million at the auction organised by the Sharjah Police and Emirates Auction.
