it is (or at least was) a standard issue plate from Qld transport. Early (after the Q plates) plates were issued in a 3 letter & 3 numbers format starting with "N", "O" or "P" and could be retained when vehicles were updated. They can still be ordered as "Retro" plates from PPQ (Personal Plates Qld).

The last black and white plates (excluding PPQ) would have been issued late '70s when we went to green on white and I think PPs were introduced. Initially the PPs were three letters and two numbers, in green on white.

Ian,

agreed. my point was that you can keep your old issue plates when you update vehicles. I know of a bloke in Bundy that has black and white plates on his late model dunnydore that were first issued on his fathers Bettle and have been on a registered car in the same family since.

I have 11 sets of PP's, 2 "standard" green on whites and 9 black & white "Retro" plates, although all mine have been issued from PPQ in the last 10 or so years.

My BiL payed $40 to have standard issue green and white plates reserved for him, (initials and year of birth) but had to transfer them to PP to transfer them to another car. I have one set of PP plates but they're not in use; I should transfer them to the Disco.

I saw a black WRX in SA recently with "THESTIG" plates...

[Tank]

Back in my youth, the local Balmain Police wagon (F100) had the number plate CUN-***, it wasn't long before the letter "T" found it's way between the letters and numbers, front and rear. That "T" was on there for a long time before the law noticed.
T'wasn't me, Regards Frank.
