Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-05-20 21:22	This is a British series, not American. Back in the 1980s, a neighbour bought a Volkswagen Golf in West Germany and drove it home on oval Zoll plates, because it was cheaper than buying from a UK dealer. And I think ingo said that Americans could buy US-spec Mercedes direct from the factory back in the sixties.
Ingo ◊ 2010-05-20 21:38	Not only Americans, from anywhere else, it was possible, too. Also when you, as a German, had a car, which was meant to be brought outside the country, you got these plates. It's similar today. But since 1987 these export-plates aren't oval anymore, they have a special combination, a red registration-sticker (normal ones are silvermetallic, resp.white years ago) and a red bar on the side, there the date is remarked, when the car has to leave Germany at last.
