The sft top open roof became available in 1957 (together with the OHC engine). |

Is there a closer view to the license plate? Is it a Russian one? |

It certainly isn't a contemporary Russian plate, which would be similar to that on the bike but larger. It looks for all the world like a 50s West German one to me. http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/7247/854ajy7.jpg |

Thanks for the link. It isn't a pre-1956 German plate. I thought so, because the combination can be similar, but the size doesn't fit and since 1957 it was invalid. The movie was made in 1966. |

Could it be a replica West German plate made for the film, based on outdated references? -- Last edit: 2008-01-13 17:28:18 |

Bearing in mind what a cock-up Western film makers can make of foreign plates, that wouldn't surprise me at all |

@Gag: I think so. |
