How come?

I have absolutely no idea how or why. But ABC 123D is a 1966 UK plate format, which does not appear as far as I know for any other nationality.

Why that excitement? It's just of the many faked movie plates. Although it looks British -shall look British- material, size and font aren't authentic.

Actually the material, size and font are all authentic - just, like the registration number, much too old for the car.

Are you really sure about the authenticity of material? It doesn't look like the actual UK-made plates of two laminated plastic tiles. The edges are too edgy and the yellow has a too strong orange-shade.

Yes, I am sure. Before the plastic sandwich became universal, there were various types of reflective plate; this one is obviously alloy with Scotchlite and separate plastic characters. The Scotchlite tended to discolour over time - this plate might have been made in 1966. There were also embossed alloy plates with the characters painted black; I have owned cars with both types.

Many cars from Taxi movies were provided by Peugeot.
Recent cars like that destroyed were just test cars from the factory, I guess? (like the BMWs in the German "Cobra" series)
If so, maybe this one comes from Peugeot's UK plant, and was used with that plate for testing there.

But then hadn't it to be only the modern, 1997-version?
I'm still convinced, that it's just one movie-fake. so not worth to discuss its authenticity.

It still begs the question of why.

And don't forget that we cannot see if it's RHD or LHD. By the plate, and the comment of Antoine, can we say that is an RHD 406 Break?

dsl SX

We have no rational explanation for the 1966 UK plate, so just assume the car is normal French LHD sacrificial victim.

The car seems to have RHD wipers

Ingo DE

But the position of the outer mirrors is looking LHD-ish.
