So with a few snaps coming through it seems as though the variations in font type and use of pressed metal/acrylic will remain with us for some time to come and the new decade has not brought any new consistency to our number plates.
It seemed to me that the 'pressed metal' type was making a comeback (perhaps something do with the environment as the acrylic ones can't be recycled as easily as the metal/aluminum ones as far as I know) but the a newer variant of acrylic appeared with the advent of the 131/2 yearly split with tails on the number 1 (european style) rather than the 'I' font type, similar to the British font variant.
I don't know of any other country that allows different font types or format.
A right mixed bag we have here...

agreed, would look better lower perhaps and/or without the dealer surround

This year isn't too bad but these plates are going to be very messy in 2021 and 2022 - 211,212,221,222. Good luck trying to get those regs right when you giving it for over the phone for insurance etc.
We need 5 characters for the county and year with a couple of million cars in the country. 30 million vehicles in the UK and they've been getting on fine with 7 characters for about 60 years

Phew!!!!!!!! I was afraid we'd have to get the fire brigade to kick in the door to see if he's ok.:D:D

Surely collecting the new one...........

Just saw 201 LM 10 spinning through Carrick-on-Shannon. Wasn’t fast enough to get a photo. Seat Ibiza. Might spot it when I’m walking around town

Took me way to long too realise you were talking about the Seat cars, and not actual seats!

You'd call them out the 211, 222 etc as if they were a GAA score imo.

Last time I saw an RN reg was on a 20 year old car.

Fair play to them on spending money down there

There are no shortage of new regs in Roscommon generally. But practically everyone is driving imports. Not as easy to spot when they did away with the different range of reg numbers for imports but there are heaps of Audis/Mercs/BMWs around these parts.

Lower cost of living here so people are generally not paying astronomical mortgages/rent. If they have a decent job they can afford to spend it on a nice car I presume.

We’re picking up in the morning - called this evening to get the reg for changing the insurance and they said the Revenue system was down all morning countrywide so they won’t have it until tomorrow

It was down for an hour this morning. We were picking up a car for my mam and they rang ROS helpline and they said there was an issue with the database. All sorted by 11:30.

Any pics of 201 LS 1?

I never see any D reg ones till later on in the year. I'll be heading to the MidWest tomorrow and then to Cork so I'll see a few over the weekend.

Shhh.,its asleep

201 LD 1 is another flecking Hi-and-dri Tucson - ironically it was bought from a Private Garage (Peter Hanley Motors) instead of the Main Hyundai Dealer (Nally) practically next door

Bit of a kick in the hole to the main dealer.
