A 2012 Peugeot hatchback with a two-digit number plate has sold at auction for nearly a quarter of a million pounds.

The J69 plate and black five-door Peugeot Ion with 53,205 miles on the clock were listed for a starting price of £100,000, by Jersey auctioneers Simon Drieu & Co Limited.

Four bidders battled it out on Thursday, with the item eventually selling for £230,000.

It is not the first time number plates have sold for large sums on the island, with a JSY1 plate selling for £65,000 back in 2013.
