Austria license plate, Dealer probefahrt (1989 to today), sample IF-645V

Format, years and the law

Format
LL-999L, for example IF-645V (L is any letter, 9 any digit)

The letters are the ordinary district code; the blue ground carries the meaning. The plate binds to a dealer's test-drive permit, not to any car, and during a Probefahrt it may hang beside the vehicle's own plates, the one time an Austrian car legally wears two.

The format above follows the issuing rules: a registration that fits it is one this series could have issued.

Years issued
1989 to today. Still issued.
Vehicle class
Dealer: trade/garage plates bound to a business, not a vehicle. Issued for car, van, truck, bus, motorcycle, moped, and trailer.
