New Plaque l'immatrication for 2009

Interesting. 

Spain used to have a system that made it clear in which city or district the vehicle was registered - M for Madrid, B for Barcelona, etc - but it was abolished a few years ago.  One of the reasons given was that thieves should not be given an easy way of identifying tourists' cars.

I have no idea whether or not that is a valid argument.  But I see absolutely no reason to force people to change registration when they move; it's a piece of bureaucratic nonsense.

[blink]  Anton ... UK had what? I remember that local taxation offices each had certain pairs of letters RNA for example (the NA being the identifying pair) belonged to Manchester, and some pairs belonged to County taxation departments, but it didn't die in the early 60's, we just got a year letter added at the end in 1963. Then it got reversed so that the year letter was at the beginning. Have I missed something?
