^ There are a few cars in this country from UAE and Kuwait. Handy for speed cameras!

The learner plate just looks odd on it though!

This one is a VW golf on cartell.

Yeah....strange that the UAE reg car has an 'L' plate on it?!

Also, the '06' reg Audi may have an 'advert' plate on it as opposed to a real reg ...i.e. a made-up plate for the purpose of sale (i.e. an import awaiting registration here in the Republic). Having said that, I have seen the odd 'year-county-year' registration over the years on our roads.

If it an advertisement plate, is that Politically correct considering the reg belongs to somebodys VW Golf?

Didn't manage to get a picture but there was a blue M5 parked outside the office last week with a English reg "M5 DOA" I'm not superstitious but I'm not sure I'd drive a car with that reg. on it !

That would be a VW Citi Golf, which are still made in South Africa. There is a few of them here.

Damn. Thats less interesting than my theory that someone locked it away unreg'd for 15 years. Still a cool car though

Sure I saw a 98-D Mazda 323 Mk3 going around the Dublin recently. They too were made in South Africa until recently.

The corrolla might be a jap import because they might have been issued there before in Ireland

Max_Damage · 12-08-2008 03:31PM

I've seen a few of these JDM E100 Corolla estates with 01-D and 02-D plates:

This particular one for sale is an '02 model: http://www.japan-partner.com/Auto/5469/Toyota/Corolla/car-for-sale.html

Apart from the unusual scrawl on the reg plate, the ///M3 badge was homemade (deffo not an ebay jobbie)!!!

I would guess that they are the date of first registration 13/10/82

That a temporary German plate and the date is the expiry date of validity
