It took me years to find out, but its finally done.. From what i could find its called Manta Mirage . there is another one i saw but lights are different, i don't know if it is another Manta or something else, Google results showas a wide variety of them. I can't put a year range either due to that reason

At a 4 way intersection I saw a 2005-2007 Mercury Montego. Last time I saw one was in 2014.

a W belongs to the garage and is not related to a specific vehicle, so a plate can be used on different vehicles as long as it used on one at a time.



They seem also often used on vehicles that are difficult to register, i.e. vehicles that were not officially sold in France
e.g.:

And can anyone identify this decal on the rear of this background car on an early (1977) episode of CHiPs? "Giant Step" can't find anything on it, sounds like a band name but I got nothing

Today I saw a Jaguar X-Type Station Wagon. My light turned green before I could pull my camera out. I was really surprised to see one.

These vehicles still need the technical clearance by the service des Mines to be allowed on French roads, even if approved individually. So I'm not sure the W plate help this way. I see it more like garage owners fond of US vehcles and who do that way so that it's the garage budget that is used when about filling the tank or buying parts, and not their own wallet :grin:

There's so few Nissan Kubistar that it would me more logical to be proud to own the Nissan model :smile:
(For the second generation, both the Kangoo and the Mercedes-Benz Citan are so ugly that no reasonable person would dare to draw attention on them that way... :grin: )

Today I saw a turquoise 1966 Plymouth Barracuda and a white 1st Gen VW Jetta A1. Unfortunately I was to slow to get out my camera for both.

Last Sunday, SAAB 9-7X:



were they sold in Sweden?
04/09/2017 @ 11:03:01: Exiv96: interesting/funny/special cars sightings
It's an import. The added rear foglight is a clue. And the plate check site confirms it : 2006 car, imported in 2007 in Sweden.
