Don't see this every day...

I was just browsing around various cars on the American eBay site (I do it often when I'm bored), when I came across this Daewoo:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-Daewoo-Lanos-w-2-TVs-and-DVD-player-N-R_W0QQitemZ140206421153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item140206421153

While the car itself isn't special, it's the reg. plate on the front of it is something you don't see to often in America! It came up as Range Rover on Cartell!

Surely you can't have two different reg. plates on the same car?

That's it. If you look at the back of the car, it is indeed registered in the US of A.

Yup, sure its a 2000 Lanos anyways!!

AFAIK you don't need a front numberplate in the US ...not in all states anyway.

You often see vanity plates on the front (why you would choose an Irish reg for that is beyond me though) and the "real" plate on the back.

Daewoo changed their name to Chevrolet back in 2004/2005 anyway and the Lanos was well and truely dead at that stage.

Front reg is most probably just for a laugh.

in most us states, you are only required to have a plate on the back of the car. Plates on the back have a little sticker thats the equivalent of the road tax...

plates also follow the owner and not the car (at least in illinois)

woop

plus they said it the add that theyve owned the car for 2 years and the car is an 07 reg so.........perhaps its seen as a cool "mod"

theres also the ph. no of the garage the plate was made in if you squint a bit

The plate says Mercedez Benz www.annesleymotors.ie Tel: (01) 855 5991

Which matches what the website says

its probably some guy who moved to the states and took a reg plate as a souvenir, could be a from a car they owned back home for all we know

I have seen guys selling plates on eBay, I think it was amentioned on Boards before.

Some people will buy anything !!

No front number plate req'd in Georgia either, and lots of 'us' stick old plates on the front.

Other leave German/Swiss no's on their BeeEmm's/Merc's etc - just for the Euro look

But an Irish reg. on a Daewoo?

On a DeLorean, maybe, but not some heap of Korean scrap.
