Think the locals thought we were mad, lol..

Here in England our plates are boring by comparison: all the same colour = black letters/numbers on white background at the front, & yellow background at the back. Vehicles registered over 40 years ago can have optional white or silver letters/numbers on a black background both front & back..

You see a few Irish Republic & European vehicles on English roads, their plates are mostly black on white or yellow, Belgian plates are red on white..

I think you're the one that got me hooked on the website, "UK vintage radio repair and restoration." A really excellent website! A lot of really sharp technicians contribute information there.
BTW, are you the one that has the RCA CTC16E color set with the PAL conversion?
