I was under the impression that they would not issue any plate that was racially offensive like KKK etc. Something like 4Q would be never issued for obvious reasons but you could imagine the sort of person that would love such a plate.

I've got 9x C 999 on my Ducati 916. Does that count?

BMW used to do it with launch cars in the UK, the registration 850BMW brings up a serious 850csi when I search on it.

lets not stray too far off topic here but...

shouldn't the CD be intergrated into the plate itself like
"07 D 12345 cd"
or
"07 D cd 12345"
I've seen both, but I haven't seen a CD oval in years

Ireland doesn't have an offical diplomatic plates series unlike most other countries so basically embassies and consulates can pretty much do as they see fit and they're not going to get pulled by either the Gardai or the NCT for having "illegal" plates.

I'd suggest it's just a regular Dutch plate but in an irregular size to fit the car in question, not unlike the situation with Irish plates being manufactured in a previously unknown size, just to fit Japanese imports etc.

In the local town we have the following...

M5 YEA (on a 320d )
M 8 MWM (M BMW M - was on an M3 but now on a 535d)
and
BIG 700 (BIG TOO originally on a Q7 now on a Ford Ranger)

On the way back through England I was passed at speed by what I think was CO 04LER (or similar possibly) Was on the back of something smallish, yellow, 2 seats oh and fast which is why I didn't see it too well.

I agree, the plate 28-NL-PX is most likely a dutch plate on a US or Japanese s/h import Mercedes.

In fairness the 'CD' Merc jeep above has it's brake lights on, so may well be waiting in traffic to turn left.

I know the car!
It belongs to a local retired garage owner. I spoke with him some years ago and he told me he got that registration transferred to the 205 from a 1965 Morris Minor back in the 1980's.

Apparently back then a reg could be transferred in Ireland .....once the 'donor' vehicle had been scrapped!
