You'll find many such plates outside Mumbai. Another common font is 2151 which is made to look like "Raja". 2 is written in Marathi and 5 is written in English but tilted at 90 degrees.

ooooo so that is it!! lol. that is really funny but innovative i must say. Have not seen such number plates here so did not get it.

Boss you find dozens of such number plates in mumbai. Mostly on scorpios owned py politicians!!

Ohh BTW 5055+BOSS

Let me elaborate. The car in question is a Toyota Corolla Station Wagon. It is probably a mis 90s car or something. The WHACKY part about it is that it was painted in Camoflauge. I am not jokin, if i was not in a hurry, i would have taken better pics..

Don't know if it fits here. Nothing wacky here actually except for the chopped head. Richmond Road is packed always and I couldn't manage a decent space to capture this one properly.
Sorry, this car could be already featured here. If so, just let me know and I'll delete this post.

Hi Rudra,
Have seen this car regularily, always driven by a foreigner kind of guy;
see him sometimes at around 10:30AM near the Apollo Sagar hospital on Bannerghatta Road.

in my honest opinion, its a decently modified padmini, even the rear doors have been welded. - So its a 2 door convertible

yeah the paint job on this one is just too good.

this is a motivation for me, to also go for such a modification.

SirAlec · 4th June 2008, 16:56

VW tempo?? any links about it for more info??

SumitBahl · 4th June 2008, 16:56

Just spotted this Indica couple of hours back.
This car has something pasted on it. Looks like grass to me.

Its like those footmats seen outside shops, which are plastic and look like grass but a little less in length and darker color.

Whatever it was!! It did not look like paint to me.
I wanted to touch it and feel what it is, but the owner was sitting inside.

Sorry for the bad quality, picture taken from iPhone with sun facing directly.
