It might be from this website or one similar here. The Japanese plate part doesn’t seem to be working. I have bought from here for a couple of Mercedes I had which were imports so they didn’t have the period correct Govt issued plates (just something I’m a bit fussy about). The Mustang next to it has standard issue plates from 2015 when it was imported but I sourced some original 1966 ones outa the states off eBay.

A lot cheaper than buying Euro plates through the Govt, and I was never pulled over. Don’t know if it’s possible to buy Jap style plates officially. Or is that writing Korean, a bit off to have Jap plates on a Korean car.

Characters are kanji, it says “South Australia” at top, and “car” at the bottom.

The CCP goons are another disgusting tale but nothing to do with this car.

Watched this move from the warehouse at work to the back of a truck.

Biggest one I've seen. EVA!!





He tells me it's around the $50k plus mark.

Glad it wasn't going on my truck...
