Summary

[edit]
Description

Here's a good obviously very legal car I spotted in Greece. This one has been fitted with special temporary plates, issued for Stuttgart, which are only valid for 5 days!

This one has gone a bit over those five days. In fact it's gone over by 12 years, 6 months and 17 days (went out of date on the 6th April 2001!

Quite how this one has been kept on the roads is beyond me. Very extremely dodgy, and maybe stolen.

Shame, as it's quite a decent Sierra. Alloy on the front wheel and steel on the back does look a bit odd to me!

From wiki: Vehicles which have not been registered (because they are for transfer within Germany) have to carry short-term plates valid only for five days. The code starts with the numbers 04, e.g. DD-04000, and the plate has a yellow strip on the right showing when they are valid. The date is listed numerically, on three lines, reading day, month, year, with two digits each. The vehicle need not have a valid technical inspection, however it must be technically fit to be operated in public. Insurance premiums are quite high, appr. €100 for the above mentioned 5 days. Most insurance companies credit this premium if the car is registered as a normal car with the same insurance company after these 5 days.
