Piotr Grabowski from Poland submitted this photo. It dates from October 2005. Eurobands were introduced in May 2006, so this euroband is not official, but a sticker. It is however possible for owners with older plates to request europlates. SC = Częstochowa town in S = Śląskie province.

Ergon from Poland submitted this photo. Read his own explanation below:

"An electric car Melex (made in Poland) with registration plates of 1956-1976 series. The letters mean: H - województwo opolskie (Opole Voivodship), HV - Opole city (for sure it is from Opole, but I can't be sure if it was the only possible combination for Opole). The plates are no longer valid, of course. The vehicle is owned by a public company and the plates are on it "for fun", I guess. It is being used only within the company, so it may have such plates. Nowadays such vehicles in Poland need no registration plates any more. The photo is taken by my friend on my request."

Adrian Kot from Poland submitted the rest of the photos on this page.
