With the last two numbers telling you where the car was registered.<br />The '93' on the Renault tells you it is from Bobigny a suburb in the NW of Paris. Whereas the Porsche with it's '83' digit is from the South of France Var/Toulon.<br />I learnt this information when I drove a borrowed Rover in the south in 1998 and copped a lot of agro as the locals thought I was from Paris.<br />This system no longer exists and another fun thing to do when driving long distances in France has been lost forever!<br />TobyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
