Strange NumberPlate - Team-BHP

chanapli · 31st October 2007, 19:14

located near Koramangala, Bangalore. Wonder where on the earth this car is from.

ad75 · 31st October 2007, 19:21

could be andaman & nicobar. just a guess!

dkamath · 31st October 2007, 20:01

seems more like the lower portion of a broken plate. just a guess, assuming that its owned by a civilian, and not diplomats/other classified users

condor · 31st October 2007, 20:28

Very likely a damaged plate. Did you check the plate at the front ?

BaCkSeAtDrIVeR · 31st October 2007, 21:38

Diplomatic number plates should have the emblem of the country embossed; and have a different clolur (blue back ground, IIRC). A blow up of the pic rules out damage to the number plates.

Looks like the car is from Andamans, and either 01 or 02 is missing after the AN. See List of RTO districts in India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That is not a damaged plate - its too geometrically perfect. AN is actually an Andaman Nicobar registration. Perhaps the isles have a simplified numbering system compared to the mainland due to the significantly lesser people (cars) there.

I think u are right but can this be some old reg of an Andaman vehicle which has been transferred onto the new one.???

"AN" indeed in Andaman & Nicobar.

If the person was not using microscopic fonts for 01 and 02 then that too is ruled out. The space between AN and the number does not seem to be capable of accomodating an additional couple of numerals. Maybe Andaman and Nicobar simply has AN and gives a danm to the numerals.

Any Andaman Nicobar members on this forum who can verify?

Yup, I think you're right, that's what it is

hey, that list on wikipedia is not complete - at least for goa where i know for sure that ga 03, 04, 05 & 06 exist. wikipidea shows only ga 01 02 07 & 08

vnabhi · 1st November 2007, 11:10

It is an Andaman vehicle for sure. The number of vehicles being limited in those isles is the reason there is no provision for numerals after AN.

Is this confirmed or is this speculation?

It doesn't seem to me as if the number plate is broken. Couldn't see any jagged edges and the alpha numericals are evenly written.
