[s-cars] Quattro Caravan? MI Manufactures plates

[Keith Maddock]

I'm sure they were just AOA vehicles.  They may use "M-Plates", as we
call them, for short term press vehicles or whatever.  A few years ago
they even let the tier-one suppliers start getting them, we use them
on a few vehicles that are otherwise unregisterable... such as our
Opel Vectras, Peugeot 607, EU-spec '97 A8, and our recently imported
'07 EU-Spec Mini Cooper S....

As of the end of the year, though, no more OLD BLUE.  Any plate
renewals this year (they renew yearly here...) get the old blue's
exchanged for the new blue on white plates.  Boo :(  Supposedly after
Jan 1 2008, old blue's will be illegal.

Cheers,
Keith
