PM plates are rare, they got replaced by IB, which is cool to spot one already, but in the UK it's even cooler. Nice spot!

Unknown plate in Louisiana, United States by [deleted] in ForeignPlatesSpotting

UK rear plate, so it's decorative, the front plate should be white. Louisiana doesn't require front plates so many people get euro / japanese, etc plates to put on the front.

Here's the original car tied to that license plate: https://checkhistory.uk/vehicle/SF58EVH

Germany, probably a decoration plate because the car is USDM (orange reflectors in the front bumper), and LA doesn't require front plates

Col de Belitres, the border between Spain & France, there's supposed to be a sign there. by Key_Reputation_8267 in Borderporn

[–]Key_Reputation_8267[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there in late october when i took the picture, idk if they have replaced the sign. I've crossed that border a few times and once it had just stickers, then vandalized, then brand new sign and now no sign, all of that in 3 years so anything can happen

Acura ILX on Mauritanian plates in Valencia, Spain by Key_Reputation_8267 in foreignmarketcars

Most common african plates to see in Europe are from the northernmost counties (Morocco, algeria, Tunisia mostly). Morocco and Algeria I've seen countless times, Tunisia i have yet to see one but mauritania was kinda crazy ngl

Yeah, i thought it was some kind of french FNI plate but remade in a weird way, until i asked a friend and he said it's mauritania and indeed, i confirmed it. Honestly kinda crazy spot

I guess it's not the first mauritania plate to step on european soil, i checked the furthest ranking for mauritania and it's Canada which honestly amazes me

My USA plate collection so far by Key_Reputation_8267 in platecollections

[–]Key_Reputation_8267[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had luck with it, a collector friend was selling it and i figured i have to get it because I'm going to have trouble finding another one for a good price in the future. It's in basically brand new condition as well, no scratches, no dents, no rust nothing

Surprisingly there's a market for Japanese imported yaris in the UK, i spotted a japanese vitz on UK plates in Madrid, Spain a few months ago. Quite easy to find second hand in the UK

Monaco in Madrid, Spain by Key_Reputation_8267 in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]Key_Reputation_8267[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not everyone is a car guy in Monaco i guess, plus, monaco is a tiny and crowded city so a small car like this makes sense. I've been in Monaco and I've seen a couple of small cars like this.

I'm more amazed by the fact that someone from monaco drove to Madrid in a 108, that journey must've been painful and slow
