Last week I saw a car being driven along a road in NSW, Australia. It had a numberplate but the numberplate didn't have any letters or numerals, yet it is legal for this vehicle to be driven on the road. What was on the "numberplate?"

Does not the Governor General's numberplate have (oh Lord) a crown on it? Jul 19 04, 5:23 AM

Well, this has got me as well, as I have the latest book of number plates of the world, and though many countries do use non-character plates for a privileged few, the gallery for NSW is pretty average and has no unusual plates. Then I thought, hang on, it didn't have to be a local car, so having searched all Australian examples, have found the governor of WA and mayor of Perth have coats of arms, and the Governor general of capital territory has a crown, as mumby said. So I can see 3 examples, and unless you knew they'd be there in advance I'd say you were very lucky to see it. In the UK certain official cars are the only ones to use a single zero as a number, such as LM 0 for the Lord Mayor of London, and the Queen is exempt from using a number plate at all.

Great research satguru ! It was indeed a crown. Gilded and all with some red inserts. It was on the occasion of the official opening of the $53.56 million Dillynia Correctional Centre for Women at Windsor NSW on Thursday 15 July 2004 by Governor Professor Marie Bashir AC Jul 20 04, 8:05 PM
