About this plate
HISTORIC VEHICLES THAT HAVE NOT PASSED THE ROADWORTHINESS TEST, "type I" in the Reglament's scheme (art. 14). Andorra splits its historic regime by ITV OUTCOME rather than by vehicle age, giving red plates to vehicles that failed and white ones to those that passed. That is a genuinely unusual design decision and it is why two historic series appear here.
Format notes
art. 14: one letter and two digits, the shortest serial in the Andorran system
